Despite finishing in the top 13 of the European Tour Order of Merit four times, Forsbrand never made the European Ryder Cup team. His best year, 1992, when he finished fourth, was not a Ryder Cup year and he could not continue his good form until the selection of the team the year after. Anyway, in 2004, Bernhard Langer, the European Ryder Cup Captain, named Forsbrand as his vice-captain for the 35th Ryder Cup Matches against the United States at Oakland Hills Country Club, Michigan, U.S., in which the European team had a resounding victory over the U.S. team.
