US EditionKeegan Bradley as a Ryder Cup Playing Captain? He Has Jack Nicklaus to Thank for the Chance
Veterans praise Bradley's season performance, including a Travelers Championship win, as he vies for a playing captain spot on the 12-player U.S. Ryder Cup team.
- Veteran players Patrick Cantlay and Rickie Fowler backed Keegan Bradley, 39, as a playing captain and for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, Farmingdale, New York.
- On June 22, Bradley moved to 10th in U.S. team points after winning the Travelers Championship, with two FedEx Cup playoffs remaining to secure his spot.
- Praised by Cantlay as 'one of the best American players,' Bradley's peers like Fowler also said, 'Yeah, I would pick him too,' supporting his role as playing captain.
- Long ago, on December 16, 1982, the PGA of America appointed Jack Nicklaus, the last U.S. playing captain, after bylaws were changed to allow captains to play again.
- Ahead of his selections, Bradley will choose six captain’s picks on Wednesday, Aug. 27, including possibly himself, after Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and J.J. Spaun have already qualified by points.
