It wasn’t simply golf followers and media caught off guard by Wednesday’s announcement of Keegan Bradley as 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain at Bethpage Black.
“Yeah, it’s shocking,” Xander Schauffele stated on Tuesday on the Genesis Scottish Open, changing into primarily the primary 2023 Ryder Cup participant to touch upon the most recent captain. “You sometimes anticipate somebody that’s just a little bit older to get chosen as a captain. I believe lots of people have been banking on Tiger to do it. He clearly has so much on his plate. So Keegan expressed his love for the Ryder Cup publicly, which all of us noticed. I haven’t talked to him or seen him but, however I’m certain he’s over the moon and goes to do an excellent job.”
Final yr, Bradley was a possible captain’s choose however was one of many first gamers left off the staff. Netflix’s “Full Swing” captured the moments Bradley, together with his spouse, Jillian, came upon he wasn’t chosen. As somebody who had lengthy been vocal about how a lot the occasion meant to him, he was crushed.
“I take into consideration the Ryder Cup each second I’m awake, mainly,” Bradley stated, weeks earlier than the 2023 staff was introduced. “My greatest factor proper now’s attempting not to consider it whereas I’m taking part in as a result of it’s that essential to me.”
Bradley, 38, performed in two Ryder Cups, each losses in 2012 and 2014, and has a profession file of 4-3 within the occasion. He was a high-energy participant in these Cups — and nonetheless is immediately on Tour — though Schauffele stated he’s not at all times like that exterior the ropes.
“He’s so laid again off the course,” Schauffele stated. “For those who get him in like a dinner setting or one thing, he loves sports activities. He’ll speak about sports activities all night time lengthy should you like. He’s a really passionate particular person. On the course, he’s intense. That’s simply how he competes and the way he’s. I’m certain as a captain he’s going to have form of a blended bag. He gained’t be afraid and can get everybody going. I don’t know if he’s coached or captained another groups in his life, whether or not it’s his youngsters’ groups or one thing like that, however when somebody is admittedly obsessed with one thing, they often do rather well.”
Though, in line with Schauffele, there are specific issues a captain can do to make life simpler on the staff. For starters, he stated, he hopes Bradley cuts down on all of the compulsory Ryder Cup pomp and circumstance.
“Taking a bunch of pictures all dressed up. I might be the primary man that I have to flee rapidly. It simply looks as if it’s all these little, even like staff dinners or issues of that nature, we are able to have them form of fast and inside versus having to exit, gown up and all these issues,” Schauffele stated. “It’s simply small issues. I believe there’s two or three dinners that we’ve to go to which can be form of mandatory-ish, and I believe if we minimize it down to at least one or two versus three that will be a extremely huge deal.
“I don’t gown up and exit to dinner,” he continued. “I play 24 occasions, and I don’t assume I gown up and go to at least one dinner in all these 24 occasions. Plus my spouse, she’s superb, possibly for an anniversary or one thing like that. She is aware of once I’m right here, it’s to maintain my head down and compete and that’s what I attempt to do.”
