Keegan Bradley named vice-captain of the United States in the President’s Cup

Keegan Bradley has been named the fourth assistant captain of the American team in the Presidents Cup, the PGA Tour announced Wednesday.

Bradley, who has been named captain of the US team in next year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York, will join Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard and Kevin Kisner as assistant captains to Jim Furyk.

The American team will face the international team in the Presidents Cup at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada on September 27-29.

“Keegan is a great competitor with a bulldog mentality and we look forward to having his voice in the team room in Montreal,” Furyk said in a statement. “He has a great passion for tournament play and I know he will be an asset to our players in 2024, and 2025, as he leads them to Bethpage Black in the 2025 Ryder Cup.”

Bradley, a six-time winner on the PGA Tour, was the surprise choice to captain America’s Ryder Cup team. He has participated in two Ryder Cups as a player with a combined record of 4-3-0 and has never been an assistant captain against a European team.

“I was happy to get the call from Jim and I look forward to doing everything I can to help our team in Montreal,” said Bradley. “With the Ryder Cup on the horizon next year, this will be great for me to understand the other side of the club room and how this relationship and coaching helps our guys perform at their best.”

Canada’s Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, will captain the international team, which includes players from outside the US and Europe. Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman, Geoff Ogilvy and Camilo Villegas will serve as assistant captains.

The American team has always held the President’s Cup since its inception in 1994, winning 12 out of 14 games and drawing once. The US won the most recent match 17½ – 12½ at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2022.
