With the Ryder Cup just a few months away, Keegan Bradley is already under the spotlight as Team USA captain.
Bradley hasn’t yet made a decision on whether he’ll take up a playing role, though his form certainly puts him among the top 12 American players at the moment.
Trevor Immelman has told Bradley to focus on his game and let someone else handle the captaincy, while Harris English believes he’s too good not to be playing.
But for now, Bradley seems set on his captaincy role and is working with some of the top talent in golf. Among them is world number one Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler, who won The Open last week, continues to impress in 2025. He’ll head to Bethpage Black as Team USA’s key figure who is expected to lead by example. Now even Scheffler has weighed in on the debate over Bradley’s role.

Scottie Scheffler opens up on Keegan Bradley as Ryder Cup captain
This week, Scheffler joined the Pardon My Take podcast, where he faced a direct question about whether Team USA will claim victory at the Ryder Cup.
Unwavering in his confidence, the Louisiana native didn’t hesitate to express his belief in the team’s chances. He also took the opportunity to reflect on his experience collaborating with Bradley.
“That is the plan! Nobody wants to win the Ryder Cup more than I do,” Scheffler said.
“The Ryder Cup is going to be fun. It’s going to be exciting. And Keegan has been amazing so far. He has been great for us and extremely fired up.”
“I think the whole team right now is really excited about getting there.”
As a significant choice approaches, all eyes will be on Bradley and the path he ultimately takes. The stakes are high, and his decision could play a crucial role in determining the frontrunner for 2025.
Team Europe will be enjoying the USA’s indecision
Keegan Bradley finds himself in a challenging situation at the moment.
He wants to lead his country, but he’s also still playing some of his best golf. Few players bring the same level of competitiveness he does.
But as this situation drags on, Team Europe will be watching closely and taking note.
Under Luke Donald, Europe are settled and clear on what lies ahead.
While Donald still has a few selection calls to make, they pale in comparison to the decisions facing Bradley and Team USA.
Until Bradley’s situation is sorted out, the edge remains with Team Europe.
