Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley doesn’t have an ‘elevated role’ on the Presidents Cup team
Keegan Bradley will be the captain of the US Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black in 2025. However, the 37-year-old has said that he does not have an elevated role at the Presidents Cup, which is taking place at Royal Montreal Golf Club from 24 to 29 September.
Reflecting on the same, Bradley shared his thoughts in a press conference at Royal Montreal. He revealed how his job was to earn points for the US Presidents Cup team like other teammates.
“My role on this team is to go out there and win points. I don't have an elevated role, low or higher role, my goal is to do my job, and that's to win points for Team USA and Jim Furyk,” Keegan Bradley said ( via ASAP Sports).
In the same press conference, he reflected upon his feelings to be back in the US team as a golfer.
“Yeah, it's been a surreal week honestly. I saw the boys at -- I went a point in my career where I thought I was going to play in this every year -- Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup. And then there came a point in my career where I thought I would never play…Then to be back here a decade later, it's really been a special week. I look around the room at dinners and stuff, and there's nobody there that I was on these other teams with, and Jim was playing the last time I was out here,” Keegan Bradley added.
Bradley last played in the 2013 Presidents Cup, when the US won the match. The golfer has a Presidents Cup record of 2-2-1.
