Keegan Bradley is assured of making another Ryder Cup team. This time it will be as the captain for the United States.
The PGA of America announced Bradley’s selection on Monday after months of talking with Tiger Woods about taking the job.
The organization released the news on Instagram after word began to leak during the day that Bradley, who has played on just two Ryder Cup teams and never was an assistant captain, had been chosen to lead the U.S. team at the next edition of the biennial matches against Europe. Those will take place on Sept. 25-28, 2025, at the Bethpage Black Course on Long Island.
Bradley already was in New York going through media training, with a news conference to introduce him set for noon Tuesday at the NASDAQ building. At age 38, he will be the youngest captain for the Americans since Arnold Palmer was a playing captain in 1963.
Sports Illustrated was first to report that Bradley would be the next captain.
