Henrik Stenson

Age: 42

2018 PGA Tour highlights: 16 starts, five top-10s

Ryder Cup experience: 5-4-2 record in four appearances.

Buzz: Stenson has been on two winning teams and got the call with Bjorn clearly placing an emphasis on experience over current form. Stenson took last week off after failing to crack the top 15 in any of the first three playoff events, as he’s slowed considerably after a stretch of three consecutive top-10 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Houston Open and Masters earlier this year.
