Keegan Bradley’s wife, net worth, LIV Golf stance, potential BMW championship winnings

Keegan Bradley is poised to claim victory at the BMW Championship on Sunday, entering the final round with a one-shot lead over Adam Scott. A win would mark Bradley’s first PGA Tour triumph in over a year and could significantly boost his earnings.

The 38-year-old golfer sits atop the leaderboard with a total score of -12. However, with Scott just one stroke behind and Ludvig Aberg and Alex Noren tied for third at -10, Bradley faces stiff competition as he aims for the win.

Bradley’s last victory came at the Travelers Championship in June of last year, where he edged out Zac Blair and Brian Harman by three strokes. Known for thriving under pressure, Bradley also secured his sole major win at the 2011 PGA Championship by defeating Jason Dufner in a playoff.

As the final round of the BMW Championship unfolds at Castle Pines, here’s a look at Bradley’s career, personal life, and his views on the LIV Golf controversy.

### Keegan Bradley’s Net Worth
Bradley has accumulated an impressive net worth, estimated at around £19.5 million ($25 million), thanks to his successful golfing career and endorsements with brands like Flag and Anthem and Srixon. While this sum is substantial, it pales in comparison to the wealth of top golfers like Rory McIlroy, who reportedly has a net worth of £132 million, and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, whose fortune is around £70 million.

Bradley’s earnings include £2.7 million ($3.6 million) from last year’s Travelers win and £1 million ($1.44 million) from his 2011 PGA Championship victory. His other notable paydays include £1.49 million ($1.98 million) for winning the 2022 ZOZO Championship, £717K ($948K) for a second-place finish at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, and £749K ($990K) for a T9 finish at the 2023 TOUR Championship.

The 2024 BMW Championship offers another opportunity for Bradley to increase his net worth. The tournament’s total prize pool is £15.1 million ($20 million), with the winner set to take home £2.7 million ($3.6 million). Second and third places will earn £1.6 million and £1.02 million, respectively.

### Bradley’s Personal Life
Bradley has been married to Jillian Stacey for eight years. The couple, who both hail from Vermont, met in 2012 and got engaged in August 2015. Stacey announced their engagement on Instagram, sharing her excitement about spending the rest of her life with her best friend.

### Bradley’s Stance on LIV Golf
The rivalry between PGA Tour players and LIV Golf defectors has been well-documented, with stars like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy openly criticizing the Saudi-backed league. However, players from both leagues often encounter each other at major tournaments and may even have to collaborate during events like the Ryder Cup.

As LIV Golf isn’t recognized by the Official World Golf Ranking, its players have a limited path to qualifying for the Ryder Cup, where Team USA faces off against Team Europe. Despite the controversy, Bradley, who will captain Team USA in 2025, insists that politics won’t influence his team selection. However, he has made it clear that LIV players like Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, and Brooks Koepka will need to prove their worth if they hope to be selected.

In an interview on the Fore Play Podcast, Bradley emphasized his commitment to selecting the best players for his team, regardless of their affiliation. He acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the proposed merger between LIV and the PGA Tour and stated his focus on assembling a competitive team.

While Bryson DeChambeau was not selected for the 2023 Ryder Cup by captain Zach Johnson, his recent US Open victory could bolster his chances of representing the USA under Bradley’s leadership in 2025.
