Overview
- Bradley will reveal six wildcards at 11 a.m. ET on Golf Channel from PGA of America headquarters in Frisco, Texas.
- Multiple outlets report he is expected 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.
- Analysts widely expect Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa to be selected, with other contenders frequently cited including Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin and Maverick McNealy.
- Some reports claim Sam Burns has been assured a spot, though that remains unconfirmed until Bradley announces; the potential dual role has drawn skepticism from figures such as Rory McIlroy and Nick Faldo, while Bradley has called the choice the hardest decision of his life.
