Keegan Bradley has accepted the role of captain for the United States in the 2025 Ryder Cup, despite not being the PGA of America's initial choice following Tiger Woods' decline. Bradley, aged 38, expressed his strong passion for the event, highlighting its unique nature in golf and the significance of the upcoming competition at the iconic Bethpage Black course in New York from 25-28 September.
"I'm deeply honored and excited to lead the U.S. team in the Ryder Cup," Bradley remarked. Having been on the losing side in both his Ryder Cup appearances as a player in 2012 and 2014, Bradley emphasized the event's special place in golf and the thrill of preparing for such a prestigious tournament.
The European team, captained by Luke Donald, will be looking to build on their recent victory in Rome as they face off against Bradley's U.S. squad. PGA of America president John Lindert praised Bradley's Ryder Cup experience, strong relationships within the golf community, and unwavering dedication to the event, expressing confidence in Bradley's leadership abilities.
Speculation about Woods potentially captaining the U.S. team in 2027 at Adare Manor continues amidst his decision not to take on the role for 2025. Bradley, known for his career achievements and commitment to the sport since turning professional in 2008, looks forward to guiding the U.S. team with the same determination that has defined his career on the PGA Tour.
