Ryder Cup Shake-Up: How PGA Tour & LIV Impact Team Selections.

New rules now allow performances on the US-based PGA Tour to directly impact qualification for the European team in next year's Ryder Cup in America.

A single qualifying list, based on performances in tournaments on both the European-based DP World Tour and the PGA Tour, will determine the six automatic picks for Luke Donald's 12-man Ryder Cup team. 

Events on the LIV Tour, featuring players like Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, will not count towards qualification.

European players must be members of the DP World Tour to be eligible for selection. LIV circuit players must pay fines and serve suspensions to remain on the tour. 

Donald retains six wildcard picks for the competition against Keegan Bradley's US side at Bethpage Black next September. 

Previously, automatic selection was determined by two separate lists.
