Brandt Snedeker selected as US Ryder Cup vice-captain

United States captain Keegan Bradley has named Brandt Snedeker as his second vice-captain for next year's Ryder Cup.

Snedeker joins Webb Simpson in Bradley’s backroom staff for the biennial contest against Europe at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September.

"As I’ve started preparing for the 2025 Ryder Cup, I quickly realised that Brandt was someone I wanted by my side," Bradley said.

"Having competed in two Ryder Cups, including a stellar individual performance in 2016, Brandt’s experience and insight will surely be beneficial to our team in the months ahead."

Snedeker, who was the only unbeaten player at Hazeltine with three wins from three matches, said: "I am so grateful to Keegan and the PGA of America for giving me the opportunity to represent my country in the role of vice-captain.

"The Ryder Cup is unlike anything in our sport and I hope to bring the passion and pride to help Keegan deliver his vision of what a Ryder Cup in New York should look like.

"I am so excited to serve alongside my good friend Webb and know we will do everything in our power to help Keegan and the players be ready for a great competition next September at Bethpage Black."
