The world golf rankings have been updated following the U.S. Open, the third major championship of 2025. J.J. Spaun won

Looking back at the history, it would be extremely unusual for a reigning Major champion to be excluded from Team USA for the Ryder Cup. The last time that happened was in 1995, when John Daly won the Open Championship but was not selected. Daly is the only two-time Major winner to never appear at a Ryder Cup.

J.J. Spaun's Sunday at Oakmont to win the 2025 U.S. Open was one of the craziest final rounds from a major champion in recent memory. He began his day with five bogeys in his first six holes, going from tied at 2nd to five shots back of the lead before even making the turn.

PGA Tour winner Joel Dahmen reacted to J.J. Spaun making a massive jump in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

J.J. Spaun, 34, who started Sunday one stroke behind 54-hole leader Sam Burns, survived a terrible start and challenging elements to pull away from the pack and capture his first major title with a two-stroke win in the U.

J.J. Spaun's win at the U.S. Open was one of the best sports moments of the year. It was also full of teaching moments.
