Even with a championship in the balance in a PGA Tour event, a good portion of the golfers in the Procore Championship have larger aspirations this month.
That’s because the tournament served as a final on-course tune-up for the Ryder Cup.
“It was a good prep week, the guys definitely stayed sharp this week,” said Scottie Scheffler, who won the tournament on Sunday in Napa, Calif.
Ten of the 12 U.S. players for the Ryder Cup took part in the Procore Championship. Only Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau from the U.S. team weren’t in the field. Schauffele recently became a father and DeChambeau is ineligible as a member of LIV Golf.
“It was a good move just to get everyone sort of together and get that chemistry going,” J.J. Spaun said. “Get those team atmosphere juices flowing.”
