US Ryder Cup Team Bonds at Procore Championship in California

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has focused extensively on building team chemistry and testing pairings in the lead-up to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black later this month. Bradley described his team as the closest he has ever been a part of, emphasizing the importance of camaraderie and shared goals among players, many of whom are competing in the Procore Championship this week as part of their preparation. The team bonded over dinners and practice rounds, including the involvement of Bryson DeChambeau, who, despite his LIV Golf affiliation, attended team events signaling commitment amid ongoing tensions in professional golf. Bradley is finalizing partnerships for the critical foursome and fourball matches, with pairings such as Scottie Scheffler and J.J. Spaun showing promise based on their recent form and practice rounds. By stepping away from playing duties, Bradley has been able to focus fully on his captaincy, aiming to avoid past mistakes in pairing strategies and maximize the team's chances of Ryder Cup success. This preparatory approach reflects Bradley's determination to lead the U.S. team to victory and create a lasting impact through his leadership style.
