The 2025 season began with the Sentinels’ promising 68 seasons, but it soon turned into the American PGA Tour Pro. The brutal run of nine rulings (including 75 on American Express) made the elusive top 10. Then there is the Genesis Scottish Open, the season-best 65 won a stunning victory and ranked 27th in the official world golf golf rankings. Strong follow-up performances pushed the ranking higher over the next few games, proving that Chris Gotterup's season is far from over. The question now is – will this surge win him the Ryder Cup call?
Gotterup brought that momentum into the next two matches after his defined victory at the Scottish Open. He maintained pressure when he opened, completing the T3 with no more than 12 shots, a result that strengthened his Ryder Cup hopes. The following week at the 3m Open, he added a T10 finish, further strengthening his options.
But once the FedEx Cup playoffs begin, the momentum starts to cool down. In the first playoff game, FedEx St. Jude Championship, Gotterup struggled to find his best. He started with 72 and 73 rounds, followed by 70 and final 66, and finished T54. Regarding the reflections of that week, Gotterup admitted:Obviously, last week was a bit disappointing…I didn’t perform the best. ”

As for his Ryder Cup chances, Gotterup admits that the decision is firmly up to Captain Keegan Bradley, who has been clear about the challenges ahead. “The main thing he said was, no doubt, no doubt, GotTerup Sharing.
