Keegan Bradley has been named the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for 2025, succeeding Zach Johnson, who surprisingly excluded Bradley from the 2023 team. Bradley expressed deep respect and gratitude towards Johnson, who informed him of his captaincy. Despite initial shock, Bradley is committed to selecting the best players, including those from LIV Golf, to win at Bethpage Black. Tiger Woods was the anticipated captain but declined due to other PGA commitments. Bradley dismissed Phil Mickelson for a vice-captain role, hinting Mickelson might be a future captain. PGA President John Lindert and players like Xander Schauffele praised Bradley's appointment, anticipating strong leadership.
