Overview
- Keegan Bradley will announce his six captain’s picks on Wednesday at PGA of America headquarters in Frisco, Texas, with the reveal scheduled for 11 a.m. ET on Golf Channel.
- Multiple outlets, including The Telegraph as cited by TSN and Yardbarker, report Bradley is likely to use a pick on himself, which would make him the first U.S. playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
- Six Americans have already qualified automatically: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, J. J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau.
- Some reports based on Nuclr Golf sources say Sam Burns has been assured a spot, a claim not independently confirmed ahead of Bradley’s announcement.
- Rory McIlroy and Nick Faldo have cautioned that combining captaincy with playing is unrealistic, while Paul McGinley says the debate has energized the American side; Bradley has called the choice the hardest decision of his career.
