News Summary
The Procore Championship at Silverado Resort is drawing attention as ten members of the U.S. Ryder Cup team are set to compete. Scheduled for mid-September, the tournament unexpectedly features a strong lineup that includes the world number one Scottie Scheffler and other top-10 players. This unique event serves as the last competitive opportunity for U.S. players before the Ryder Cup, making it a vital warm-up with intense matchups anticipated on the course.
Napa: Procore Championship Draws a Stacked Ryder Cup Cast
Get ready, golf fans — Napa is suddenly the place to be in mid-September. The Procore Championship at Silverado Resort, set for September 11-14, just turned into one of those rare tournaments that feels more like a warm-up for something huge. That’s because 10 of the 12 players named to the U.S. Ryder Cup team are teeing it up in Napa, making this the strongest field the event has ever seen.
Normally the Procore Championship has a hard time turning heads. It sits awkwardly on the calendar between the end of the regular PGA Tour season and the Ryder Cup, a slot that many top players skip to rest or tune up at private venues. Not this year. Tournament bosses landed a who’s who of American talent, including the current world number one and several elite top-10 players, so the Silverado greens will be busy with big names and big swings.
Who’s coming to Napa?
The lineup reads like a Ryder Cup roster with invitations. Heading the list is Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1 who has dominated much of the season with five PGA Tour wins, including two majors. Also heading to Silverado are other top-10 stars such as Russell Henley (No. 4), Justin Thomas (No. 5), J.J. Spaun (No. 7) — the reigning U.S. Open champion — Collin Morikawa (No. 8), and Harris English (No. 10). Rounding out the Ryder Cup contingent in Napa are Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young, and Ben Griffin.
Two Ryder Cup picks decided not to play in Napa: Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau. Their absence still leaves the Procore with an unusually deep field for this time of year.
Why this matters
The Ryder Cup is a two-sided tug-of-war between the United States and Europe and it happens every other year. This year it’s scheduled for September 26-28 at Bethpage Black in New York. Europe has claimed victory in seven of the last ten matchups, so the U.S. is keen to shore up form and momentum. The Procore Championship is the only official tournament sandwiched between the end of the regular season and the Ryder Cup, so for many players it’s one last chance to sharpen their games in real competition.
Form lines and storylines
Scottie Scheffler’s presence is the headline — he has won two majors this season and 18 PGA Tour events since early 2022, including multiple green jackets in that run. Collin Morikawa brings his polished iron game and major-winning pedigree, with six career PGA Tour wins and major titles at the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 British Open. J.J. Spaun’s recent U.S. Open triumph adds another layer of intrigue because form at a major often signals who’s hot heading into match play.
Patton Kizzire, last year’s champion in Napa, won’t be easy to forget. His title run shows that Silverado can produce surprises, and with a crowd of Ryder Cup talent on the tee, expect intense matchups and low scores.
What to watch on the course
- Match fitness vs. rest — Some players use Napa as a final tune-up; others treat it as a warm-down. That dynamic will be interesting to watch.
- Short-game battles — Bethpage Black will be brutish; players looking to sharpen wedges and putting will use Silverado’s tricky surfaces as rehearsal.
- Momentum swings — Strong finishes in Napa could change pairings or captain’s considerations at the Ryder Cup.
Bottom line: this year the Procore Championship is more than a stopgap on the schedule. With ten U.S. Ryder Cup players in the field and marquee names top to bottom, Napa will be a real dress rehearsal for the big event at Bethpage Black later in September.
