2026 Mosconi Cup Team USA

That's why they have wildcards. :)
Matchroom have told him he didn't enter enough sanctioned events to be eligible for selection. He was pretty annoyed as he only learned this just before he was going to play his match in the U.S Open. Quite a few players had to play the Philippines Open to be eligible, but Billy had missed so many events didn't even make a difference if he went to the the Philippines or not.

I don't think it's a terrible rule, but they should make an exception when it's exceptional circumstances. I think Lucas Varner has been ruled out for the same reasons when he missed events whilst recovering from a car crash. That seems unfair to me.

If I had my pick for the wildcard, it would be Billy Thorpe because he gets along well with the others and brings enthusiasm and excitement to the team.

He's got the experience of playing on the big stage, and I think he can bring it on. He's hitting 'em strong as of late and attending a lot of events.
