Trump Attends Ryder Cup, Backs Captain Bradley Playing

President Donald Trump confirmed he will attend the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, New York, expressing strong support for U.S. team captain Keegan Bradley to play in addition to captaining the team. Trump, a longtime golf enthusiast and course owner, emphasized on social media that Bradley should be a playing captain, a role not held since Arnold Palmer in 1963. Bradley, currently ranked 13th worldwide and a recent tournament winner, faces a significant decision on whether to select himself as a player, which he described as the "biggest decision" of his life. The Ryder Cup, known for its energetic and passionate fans especially at Bethpage Black, will take place from September 26 to 28 and is highly anticipated this year. Trump’s attendance is notable given his history with golf and his efforts to engage with the sport’s leadership amid ongoing developments in professional golf tours. The U.S. team is still finalizing its lineup, with Bradley set to announce his captain’s picks soon.
