#3 Bubba Watson (3,658.078 Ryder Cup Points)

Bubba has been on the team the past 3 times. He is such a skilled and strong player. He turned pro in 2002 but emerged as a dominant figure of the pro golf stage in 2006 and hasn’t taken his foot off the peddle! He is a two-time Travelers champion (2010 and 2015). More notably he won 2 Masters (2012 and 2014). He recently won the Northern Trust Open. Bubba Watson seems to be a consistent lock each time this event comes around. It’s not a shock either! He hits a very long ball & having the ability to shape any shot around makes him a great pick for the team. Expect him to be on the team!
