(FORTUNE Magazine) – Because both sides agreed not to change their rosters from last year's, each team will have a few out-of-form members--and some hot players will be home watching the matches on TV. Here's who won't be there.

For the U.S.

Despite lackluster play in 2001, two-time Ryder Cup player Justin Leonard has won twice since the team was set. He was tenth on this year's money list through July, and through the British Open had ten top-20 finishes in 11 events.

--Chris DiMarco narrowly missed the team on points and had been strongly considered by Strange as a captain's pick. And he's won twice since last August.

--Jerry Kelly is the highest player on the money list (fourth, through July) not on the team, but it takes more than one strong year to make the team, and he wasn't in the picture a year ago.

For Europe

Member of six Ryder Cup teams, Jose Maria Olazabal was squeezed out when Torrance had to use his two captain's picks on Sergio Garcia and Jesper Parnevik, who were playing mostly in the U.S. Olazabal wasn't playing well then, but he's back.

--A sensation at 17--when he was fourth in the 1998 British Open--and a washout at 19, Justin Rose has reemerged as one of Europe's top players. He's won four times around the world, two of them on the European Tour, and crashed the world's top 40.

--Member of a record 11 Ryder Cup teams, Nick Faldo has experience that would have come in handy now that his game has returned. He's not playing the way he was in his prime, but the 45-year-old finished 14th at the Masters and fifth at the U.S. Open, and has five top-tens on this year's European Tour. --David Barrett
