Team USA captain Keegan Bradley makes decision on playing status for Ryder Cup, locks in picks for Bethpage

Keegan Bradley opted not to select himself as a playing captain for Team USA in the Ryder Cup next month.

Instead, the 39-year-old went with Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns as his captain's picks.

Rory Mcilroy said earlier this month that he felt it would be too difficult to be a playing captain, saying that he turned down the idea for the future. When asked about McIlroy’s comments, Bradley appeared to have no desire to prove him wrong.

"The decision was made a while ago that I wasn’t playing," Bradley said, adding that he was 100% certain this is the right choice.

"I am not worried at all about what they do or say. I care about our team. Not quite sure how he would know. I said through this process I wish I could call Arnold Palmer and get his advice. The simple fact is the Ryder Cup is a different animal than it was in the 60s… I said through this process I was going to do what was best for the team, and  this was the decision I thought was best."

Bradley participated in both the 2012 and 2014 Ryder Cups (both of which were losses). In 2023, he was the 11th-ranked U.S. golfer (12 players make the team), but Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas were chosen over him (Cameron Young was also skipped over despite ranking ninth).
