Overview

  • Bradley’s Travelers Championship win boosted his chances to emulate Arnold Palmer as the first playing Ryder Cup captain since 1963.
  • He currently ranks ninth in the Ryder Cup qualifying standings, with only the top six guaranteed spots, and is competing in Detroit to improve his position.
  • Bradley credited a consistent, self-owned swing for helping him compartmentalize tournament play and his captaincy duties.
  • He is collaborating daily with vice captains on player selections, partnerships and match formats as Team USA shapes up.
  • Collin Morikawa praised Bradley’s leadership and said it has motivated teammates to fight for places under his potential dual role.
