Keegan Bradley among Jim Furyk's six picks for Presidents Cup - ESPN

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley is going to this month's Presidents Cup as a competitor after he was one of Jim Furyk's six captain's picks announced on Tuesday.

Bradley, who will lead the U.S. team in next year's Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York, had already been named a vice captain for the Presidents Cup. He'll now only participate as a golfer; Furyk said a new vice captain will be chosen to replace him.

Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Brian Harman, Max Homa and Tony Finau were also captain's picks.

International team captain Mike Weir's six picks included three Canadians, Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes, along with South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout, South Korea's Si Woo Kim and Australia's Min Woo Lee.

The Presidents Cup will be played Sept. 26-29 at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada.

Furyk said Bradley's performance in the FedEx Cup playoffs — he won the BMW Championship to reach the Tour Championship — helped his cause.

«Getting it done when you have to is a good thing,» Furyk said. «A guy that grinded it out and came up in big moments here at the end of the season, and that's what you want on your team.»

Harman, the 2023 Open Championship winner, and Homa, a six-time winner on the PGA Tour, were somewhat surprising choices given their recent form. Homa went 4-0 in his Presidents Cup debut in 2022; Harman was 2-2 at last year's Ryder Cup in Rome and is considered a great match play competitor.

«I think he's a great teammate,» Furyk said of Homa. «I think he plays well in partnerships. It's his personality. I don't think it's popularity, he's kind of the glue. He's an emotional leader on and off the golf course.»
