Keegan Bradley, a surprise omission from the U.S. Ryder Cup roster last year, has now been named as the captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup team after Tiger Woods declined the role. Woods, a favorite for the position, cited time constraints and declined the offer, leading to Bradley's appointment for the prestigious golf event at Bethpage Black Course near New York. This decision comes after Team USA's defeat in 2023, with Bradley aiming to lead a strong comeback against defending champions Europe, led by captain Luke Donald. Despite Woods potentially eyeing the 2027 captaincy, Bradley's selection marks a significant opportunity for him to redeem past Ryder Cup disappointments and showcase his leadership in the upcoming competition.
