Ethan FANG and Preston STOUT have today been added to the 2025 USA Walker Cup Team by the USGA’s International Team Selection working group (ITS).
They join Jackson KOIVUN, Ben JAMES and Michael LA SASSO, who earned automatic selections to the 10-man team on 18th June as the three highest-ranked American players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR).
Ethan FANG (WAGR #3), 20, of Plano, Texas, captured the 130th Amateur Championship at Royal St. George’s, in England, becoming the first American in 18 years to win the oldest amateur competition. He is a rising junior at Oklahoma State who helped his university claim the 2025 NCAA Division I title earlier in the summer.

Like Fang Stout is a rising junior at Oklahoma State University and helped the Cowboys to victory in the 2025 NCAA Division I Championship. Stout won the 2024 and 2025 Big 12 Conference individual titles and finished third as an individual at the 2025 NCAA Division I event.

“Ethan and Preston are excellent additions to further solidify this year’s team,” said Nathan Smith, captain of the USA Team. “These two players have worked tirelessly to put themselves in a position to be selected to this team and I’m thrilled to see their hard work rewarded. I look forward to having them on our side at Cypress Point.”
The USGA’s ITS will name the remaining members of the USA Walker Cup Team immediately following the U.S. Amateur Championship in San Francisco on 17th August.

Trying to find where to query your records page. Andrew and Michael Brooks came from Carluke in Scotland and played in the Walker Cup for GBand I . Does your site really say they played for the USA?
Hi Christine, The 1969 and 1997 Match information shows both Andrew and Michael as GB&I players and they are included in the GB&I Player List. Where are they shown as USA players ? Best wishes, Mark.
