Tony Finau

Age: 28

2018 PGA Tour highlights: 28 starts, 11 top 10s.

Ryder Cup experience: First appearance.

Buzz: Finau hasn’t won this season, but he’s statistically solid across the board and tore through the playoffs with three consecutive top-10 finishes before last week’s T-15 at East Lake. Xander Schauffele made a late run at consideration with a solid showing at the BMW, but Finau was the easy call as the final captain’s pick. Now it’s time to see what he’s made of in the most pressure-packed week of his career to date. “I’m just ecstatic,” Finau said. “It’s a dream come true for me. I got the goose bumps when [Furyk] told me, and I’m excited to add my skills and talent to the team — a team that’s stacked already.”
