Webb also won the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February.

With his victory on Sunday, Simpson jumped from his bubble position at No. 6 in the Ryder Cup point standings to No. 2 and further solidified his position on the U.S. Team. Webb is a three-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team. The 2012 U.S. Open champion earned an automatic qualifying spot on his first Ryder Cup team in 2012.

As Webb returned to the winner’s circle, he played his way onto the U.S. squad again in 2018.

The remaining six players will be selected and announced by Captain Stricker on September 2 or 3, 2021. Previously, the Captain was to select four players.

“With all the various changes to the 2021 schedule, it quickly became apparent that we would need to amend our selection criteria,” said Stricker, who will be captaining in his home state of Wisconsin. “After many deliberate discussions, we collectively agreed that a smaller sampling of 2021 events — including just one major championship — would justify a one-week extension of the qualification window and an increase in the number of Captain’s selections from four to six. These changes were sparked by circumstance, but conceived with integrity in mind. In the end, we believe they will allow us to put our best team together to compete at Whistling Straits in September.”

CAPTAIN’S PICKS – OVER 40 YEARS OF FUELING EXCITEMENT, DEBATE IN A RYDER CUP

Since they were introduced to the Ryder Cup four decades ago, Captain’s picks have been fodder for debate, and often the secret to success, in one of the most compelling events in sports.

In 1979, when Great Britain & Ireland expanded its roster to include Continental Europe, Peter Oosterhuis and Des Smyth were chosen to fill out a team captained by John Jacobs to compete at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. It was another decade before the United States Team adopted the use of Captain’s picks. The criteria have been tweaked repeatedly through the years, leading to oft-controversial selections and exciting pairings, and the intense scrutiny of the media and fans.

Lanny Wadkins and Tom Watson were the first American selections, joining Captain Raymond Floyd’s team in 1989 that finished in a 14-14 tie with Europe at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England.

With Europe dominating the Ryder Cup over the past two decades, winning 9 of the past 11 matches, U.S. Captain Steve Stricker’s choices are sure to be closely analyzed. Captain Stricker has a record six picks this year.

One of the most interesting statistics regarding Captain’s picks is their record: The American selections have an all-time record of 49-54-20;. The Europeans are 74-71-14.

Here’s a glance at the top-5 U.S. Captain’s Selections since 1989:

	Overall W-L-T	Years
Dustin Johnson	3-0-0	2012
Scott Verplank	4-1-0	2002, ’06
Hunter Mahan	2-0-3	2008
J.B. Holmes	2-0-1	2008
Raymond Floyd	5-3-0	1991, ’93
