The roster for the 2025 United States Walker Cup team is set.
Following the conclusion of the 125th U.S. Amateur on Sunday, the U.S. Golf Association’s International Team Selection working group and captain Nathan Smith announced the final selections to represent the American team in the 50th Walker Cup at Cypress Point Club in California from Sept. 6-7. Five players were previously announced, with the last five players earning their spot on the team after the U.S. Amateur
The Walker Cup is a 10-man amateur team competition between the U.S. and Great Britain and Ireland. Cypress Point has hosted one previous Walker Cup in 1981, a 15-9 victory for the United States. The U.S. leads the all-time series 39-9-1 and will likely be a heavy favorite at Cypress Point.
Meet the 10 members of the 2025 U.S. Walker Cup team.
Jackson Koivun
The top-ranked amateur in the world made the Round of 32 at the U.S. Amateur and has been playing well with three top-11 finishes or better on the PGA Tour this summer.
Ben James
James, ranked second in the world, also made the Round of 32 at Olympic Club before losing to Mason Howell, the eventual champion at the U.S. Amateur. This will be James’ second Walker Cup.
Michael La Sasso
La Sasso, ranked eighth in the world, essentially clinched his spot on the team after winning the 2025 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship individual title, capping off a stellar junior season at Ole Miss.
Preston Stout
Stout has had a stellar 2025, winning the Northeast Amateur by eight shots and then making the Round of 16 at the U.S. Amateur after winning medalist honors. He’s one of two Oklahoma State players on the team, most of any college.
Ethan Fang
Fang, a fellow Oklahoma State Cowboy, won the British Amateur earlier this summer at Royal St. George’s and made the match-play final at the Western Amateur. He’s ranked third in the world.
Tommy Morrison
Morrison, ranked sixth in the world and towering at 6-foot-8, is a former European Amateur Champion, made match play at the Western Am and lost in the Round of 64 this week to eventual champion/runner-up Howell.
Jase Summy
Summy, seventh in WAGR, beat Fang in the Western Amateur final to essentially lock up his spot on the Walker Cup team. He made the Round of 32 this week at Olympic Club.
Stewart Hagestad
The 34-year-old Mid-Amateur will play on his fifth consecutive Walker Cup team, holding a record of 8-6-1 in his appearances and having never lost to GB&I. He and James are the only returners from the 2023 team.
Mason Howell
The winner of the U.S. Amateur gets an automatic Walker Cup spot if they’re not already on the team, so Howell earned his way to Cypress Point after claiming the Havemeyer Trophy at Olympic Club on Sunday.
Jacob Modleski
Modleski, on the bubble the entire summer, earned his way on the team with a strong week at the Western Amateur (semifinalist) and U.S. Amateur (quarterfinalist).
