Focusing solely on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career, Brooks Koepka would love to make his Ryder Cup debut next year.

This 25-year-old rattled off two major top 10s and another top 15 in 2015, proving that he’s all ready for golf’s biggest stages. As things currently stand, Koepka is about 200 points ahead of ninth-place J.B. Holmes and within striking distance of Mickelson, Kisner and Watson.

While he had a great, consistent 2015, Koepka should only continue to improve as he gets more comfortable with the PGA Tour. The American circuit will be his sole focus this year, and with that will come an increased chance of representing his country for the first time.
