How to use Ryder Cup comparisons
Start with Ryder Cup evidence. Match-play record, points, appearances, and format splits say more about team value than ranking alone.
Then check career floor. Major wins and tour wins help separate long-term quality from a short burst of form.
Use stats as role signals. Driving, accuracy, GIR, and strokes gained help explain who may fit foursomes, four-ball, or singles.
