Yes in only three months
It doesn’t take much for a rot to hit
it’s never as black and white
He will more than likely get a pick if he keeps up the same level of consistency

Most of his appearances are going to be on LIV in that time, and people will tell you that winning there doesn't mean anything because it's a reduced field, only 3 days, and no jeopardy on it whether you win or lose. So surely it works both ways and a bit of bad form is irrelevant there too?
He can book his flights and hotel right now if he likes. (Well I'm sure they'll do that for him actually.

His form on LIV will be relevant - just as it is now , just as his form in the last major will be and any other DP tour event he will play
It doesn’t have to be a “LIV” thing
Because he isn’t earning points right now beyond the majors he can only be judged by what’s happening in the events he plays

According to ESPN, he's been top ten for every LIV event this year. He's been top 15 in all three majors (T10 in two). He missed one cut in the Desert Classic back in January.
Yeah, a complete and total loss of form looks imminent.

Then he has nothing to worry about does he
Plenty of golfers has had significant loss of form very quickly and that includes multiple major winners

I think the team will be very similar to last time with
Fitzpatrick missing out with Rasmus Hojgaard in
Then a straight pick between
Detry
Wallace and
N Norgaard for that last spot

I always have my doubts with Wallace, seems a bit temperamental. And maybe not much of a team player? That Neergaard-Peterson seems to be near the top of leaderboards a lot, could see him squeezing his way in.
Would Nicolai Hojgaard get in? He seems a long way down the list. Replaced by his brother this year maybe. I wouldn't mind if Detry is in, he seems pretty solid. Rai has a chance I think.

Rai and Neegard-Petersen definitely in the mix
I think Detry will get the spot but it’s close imo

Yes but you're posting with the benefit of knowing what we know today ... that the original commenters could not know when they commented as none of it had happenned yet.
If he had been missing major cuts and consistently placing bottom half in LIV then he'd be in danger - there would have been a very strong argument for not using a pick on him. Yes that level of performance doesn't happen to a fit and even-vaguely-in-form Rahm but the margins are fine at the top and even the best are one niggly unreported injury from looking very ordinary. Of course as things NOW stand with him looking only a small step down from his best, unless he completely forgets how to twirl a stick in a circle between now and Sept, there's no credible or sensible argument for not picking him.

I said all long there was never a chance of him missing the Ryder Cup team. There were others all but writing him off based on the fact he joined LIV and missed one major cut.

I don’t believe anyone “all but writing him off” basing on him going to LIV
The point was very simple
He wouldn’t gain enough points to guarantee automatic selection and would have to rely on a captains pick and that would more than likely be judged on his major performances

Rubbish.
it would be judged on his overall form on LIV & in majors.
Do you honestly believe that Luke won’t be keeping an eye on how the Europeans are playing on LIV??

If you think Rahm isn't going to be there you're mistaken.

So who misses - Wallace or Detry ?
Orikoru
Tour Winner
Probably both to be honest. Still time for someone else to have a good late run of form, maybe a good performance in the Open and nab themself a call-up.
Whoever suits the course most. I don't know the answer to that, I'm not being smart. It will be set up a certain way though, so who fits that course best?

The good thing is both play in the US but if it’s normal Bethpage then it’s down to who can hit the fairway more , and that’s Detry out of those two

Yes, massive slab of points available at The Open so only worth worrying about it after that.
The top 10 look nailed on and like “the right” top 10 as long as Hovland keeps his current upward form path going. Add Rahm and does the 12th player even get a game other than the singles?

Think Captains have learned their lessons and Europe always seem to ensure that every player gets played on the first day
