Justin Thomas is the only one who has the place assured.

UK
Tyrrell Hatton has it for sure, but there are many doubts with who will be his companion. Paul Casey is in right now, but they lurk with serious options Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Robert MacIntyre. Lee Westwood, who would also have options, has already announced that he will not be.

South Africa
Here the battle is exciting. Louis Oosthuizen has his place safe and right now his partner would be Garrick Higgo. He got in after his victory last Sunday at the Palmetto Championship. They still have options and will fight him this week Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Branden Grace or Erik Van Rooyen.
