Keegan Bradley Refuses to Let Team USA Repeat the Same Mistake
Keegan Bradley is making sure Team USA doesn’t repeat the costly Ryder Cup mistake that’s haunted them in the past with a bold move that could be the game-changer they need to take back the Cup.
In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down how Keegan Bradley is rewriting the Ryder Cup 2025 playbook at Bethpage Black.
After Team USA was criticized in Rome for their “disgraceful preparation” and taking five weeks of rest before the matches, Bradley is making sure history doesn’t repeat itself. He’s sending nearly the entire U.S. Ryder Cup team to compete in the Procore Championship to stay sharp and avoid the dreaded rust versus rest debate. On top of that, the team has rented a massive team house in Napa with a dedicated Ryder Cup–style team room designed to build camaraderie, chemistry, and unity ahead of one of the most hostile Ryder Cup environments ever.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Team Europe arrive with momentum, depth, and experience, calling themselves more accomplished than the group that won in 2023. With legends like Ian Poulter urging them to embrace the “cauldron” of the New York crowd, Europe is ready for the challenge.
We dive into whether Bradley’s bold strategy of playing the Procore, building team chemistry, and keeping players in form could finally give Team USA the edge they need to win back the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Breaking Down Keegan’s Surprising Ryder Cup Picks
Keegan Bradley just revealed his Ryder Cup picks—and fans can’t believe he left himself off the team...but was it the right choice?
In this episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll break down what might be the most talked-about Ryder Cup captain’s picks in years.
Keegan Bradley has officially revealed his U.S. team for Bethpage Black—and in a shocking twist, he left himself off the roster.
We dive into the big question: did Keegan fold under the pressure of being both captain and player, or was this an unselfish move to give Team USA the best chance to win?
You’ll hear our thoughts on legends like Tom Watson saying a playing captain “just can’t be done,” Rory’s take from the European side, and Keegan’s own words from the press conference. We also go pick-by-pick through the roster, debating who was snubbed, who might have been a safer choice, and whether names like Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns were really the best options.
Could Keegan himself have been the hotter hand heading into the event? And how will rookies like Ben Griffin handle the Ryder Cup spotlight? With the U.S. desperate to avoid another home loss, every decision matters.
Join us as we analyze the roster, weigh the risks, and ask if Bradley’s bold call will pay off—or haunt Team USA.
