Keegan Bradley has been named the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for 2025, succeeding Tiger Woods, who declined the role due to time constraints. Bradley's appointment marks a departure from the norm as he has limited experience, having played in only two Ryder Cups and a Presidents Cup. Despite this, he has been praised for his passion for the Ryder Cup and familiarity with Bethpage Black, where the event will be held. Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau have expressed strong support for Bradley, highlighting his ability to connect with younger players. Bradley's selection is seen as a reset for U.S. captaincies, breaking away from the traditional pipeline. His deep connection to Bethpage Black and his commitment to bringing the 12 best players, regardless of their tour, are expected to drive his leadership.
