Keegan Bradley will get some team-room experience before he takes the reins next year at Bethpage Black.
Bradley was announced Wednesday as Jim Furyk’s fourth assistant captain for the U.S. Presidents Cup team – no surprise after the 38-year-old Bradley was unveiled recently as the surprise leader of the 2025 Ryder Cup squad.
Bradley has played just one Presidents Cup, in 2013, and was a two-time Ryder Cup participant, most recently in ’14. He has never served as an assistant in either cup.
That didn’t stop the PGA of America from elevating Bradley – the 21st-ranked player in the world – into the top role, after Tiger Woods declined the offer because of his other commitments.
Bradley is ranked 17th in the U.S. standings, with the top 6 automatically qualifying for the team at Royal Montreal. At No. 43 in the FedExCup, he has at least a few more opportunities to improve his position during the FedExCup playoffs.
Bradley joins a back-room staff in Montreal that already includes Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard and Kevin Kisner.
The biennial matches will be held Sept. 26-29.
