Two weeks into his new role, Keegan Bradley was officially named the next U.S. Ryder Cup captain. This surprising decision came after a phone call from PGA executives, including last year's captain Zach Johnson. Bradley, who did not even interview for the position, was chosen over more experienced candidates. He plans to bring a fresh approach to the team, opting for younger vice captains and potentially fewer captain's picks. Bradley expressed his commitment to making the team on points rather than picking himself if necessary. While he is unlikely to have Phil Mickelson as a vice captain, he remains open to selecting the best players for the team. As Bradley prepares for the 2025 Ryder Cup, he is undecided on whether to allow Netflix cameras to document the experience, emphasizing that the decision will be made in the best interest of the team.
