PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley will get some experience before leading the American team at Bethpage Black next year. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk picked Bradley to be an assistant in Canada this year.
Furyk already had named Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard and Kevin Kisner as his other assistant captains for the Sept. 26-29 matches at Royal Montreal.
“With the Ryder Cup on the horizon next year, this will be a great experience for me to understand the other side of the team room and how that camaraderie and coaching helps our guys play their best,” Bradley said.
In a surprise decision last month, Bradley was appointed Ryder Cup captain for the 2025 matches even though he has played in only two Ryder Cups and had never been involved in the back room.
Bradley played in one Presidents Cup in 2013 at Muirfield Village.
“Keegan is a tremendous competitor with a bulldog mentality and we are looking forward to having his voice in the team room in Montreal,” Furyk said.
