Overview

• Keegan Bradley is considering both captain and player duties for Team USA at the 2025 Ryder Cup, a setup last seen with Arnold Palmer in 1963.
• The Travelers Championship win lifted Bradley to a career-high No.7 in the Official World Golf Rankings, underscoring the competitive argument for his inclusion as a player.
• Scottie Scheffler remains the only mathematically locked qualifier with over 27,000 Ryder Cup points, while Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun and others vie for the remaining top-six slots.
• Former Solheim Cup captain Suzann Pettersen warned that splitting roles would be extremely demanding, although Collin Morikawa publicly supported Bradley’s potential dual role.
• With Tiger Woods ruling himself out of a Ryder Cup captaincy, Bradley’s team is weighing candidates such as Phil Mickelson for vice-captain slots.
