Keegan Bradley has been named the captain of the USA team for the 2025 Ryder Cup, following Tiger Woods’ decision to decline the role due to his commitments as PGA Tour player director. Bradley, a surprising choice by the PGA of America, brings experience from his two Ryder Cup appearances in 2012 and 2014. He aims to lead the USA to victory on home soil at Bethpage Black in New York next September, following Europe’s recent win.
Bradley’s appointment is unexpected as captains typically serve as assistants before taking the top spot. Nevertheless, he will be the youngest USA Ryder Cup captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
With a net worth of $25 million, Bradley’s wealth comes from endorsements with Flag & Anthem and Srixon, and career prize money totaling $48 million. His major victory was at the 2011 PGA Championship, and he has won six PGA Tour events, including the Travelers Championship last year.
Bradley is married to Jillian since 2016, and they have two sons, Logan and Cooper. Both raised in Vermont, the couple shares a passion for the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. Jillian has caddied for Bradley at the Masters’ Par 3 Contest multiple times. They were featured in the Netflix series “Full Swing” in 2023, highlighting their family life and Bradley’s career.
Bradley values his family’s support, particularly during his win at the Travelers Championship. He expressed that celebrating victories with his family is even more rewarding than his earlier solo triumphs.
