SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Brooks Koepka feels so strongly against a Ryder Cup without fans that he could see a scenario where some players protested by not playing.

Would he be one of them? Koepka says that's possible.

Rory McIlroy is convinced it won't come to that. McIlroy says he's fairly certain the Sept. 25-27 matches at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin will have fans.

The PGA of America is proceeding with an adjusted qualifying system for the U.S. team.

Because golf was shut down for three months, the qualifying will be extended by one week and U.S. captain Steve Stricker will get six captain's picks.
