Xander Schauffele believes that in order for Keegan Bradley to succeed as U.S. Ryder Cup captain, he must limit the expectations placed on his players off the golf course. Following last year's defeat in Rome, where distractions and criticism ran rampant, Schauffele emphasized the importance of reducing ancillary obligations and focusing on performance. Schauffele highlighted the need for a captain who understands when players need to practice, rest, and avoid unnecessary commitments. Specifically, he suggested cutting back on activities like formal dinners and photo shoots to allow players to maintain focus and avoid burnout. Schauffele also recommended a shift in the team's preparation leading into match week, proposing that the team arrives together earlier to better acclimate and bond before competition. By prioritizing player needs and streamlining off-course responsibilities, Schauffele believes the U.S. team can enhance their performance and chances of success in future Ryder Cup competitions.
