Keegan Bradley Remains Undecided on Self-Selection as Ryder Cup Playing Captain

He will wait until after the BMW and Tour Championships to weigh his competitive form against captaincy duties

Overview

  • Bradley sits tenth in U.S. Ryder Cup points, currently outside the six automatic qualifying spots
  • He could use one of his six captain’s picks on himself, which would make him the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963
  • Patrick Cantlay and Rickie Fowler have publicly urged Bradley to include himself, citing his strong performance this season
  • Rory McIlroy and others warn that modern media obligations and strategic meetings create logistical challenges, despite a new rule allowing on-course vice-captain support
  • Bradley says he is consulting his vice captains and will announce his final six picks after the FedExCup playoffs conclude
