Keegan Bradley Reveals Tiger Woods’ Potential Role in 2025 Ryder Cup
In an exclusive interview, Keegan Bradley, the newly appointed captain of the US Ryder Cup team, opened up about his conversation with golf legend Tiger Woods regarding his involvement in the 2025 Ryder Cup.
“I Want Tiger to be as Involved as He Wants to Be”
Bradley, who was named captain just three weeks ago, revealed that he had a brief conversation with Woods about his potential role in the upcoming tournament. Although the timing of their talk wasn’t ideal, Bradley emphasized his desire to have Woods involved in the team’s preparations.
A Brief Conversation at the Open Championship
The two golfers had a quick chat during the Open Championship, but Bradley didn’t want to distract Woods from his game. “We didn’t chat too much about it because we both had a job to do,” Bradley explained. “I don’t want to bother Tiger with that. I think in the coming months, we’ll have more time to discuss it.”
Bradley’s Vision for the 2025 Ryder Cup
With 14 months to go before the tournament, Bradley is already making plans for the event. He wants Woods to be involved as much or as little as he likes, recognizing the value of his experience and expertise.
A Secret Kept for Three Weeks
Bradley had to keep his captaincy under wraps for three weeks before the news was made public. He described the experience as surreal, saying, “I wasn’t telling a soul. I was dealing with the news myself, getting a plan together with my family.”
Webb Simpson Named First Vice Captain
On Tuesday, Bradley named Webb Simpson as his first vice captain, marking the beginning of his team selections. Additional vice captains will be named in the coming months.

The 2025 Ryder Cup is scheduled to take place at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, from September 26-28. Team Europe is the defending champion, having won the 2023 tournament 16 1/2-11 1/2 at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club near Rome.
