(Reuters) – Keegan Bradley has been named U.S. captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York, the PGA of America announced on Monday after a search process during which they also talked to Tiger Woods about taking the job.
Bradley succeeds twice major champion Zach Johnson as U.S. captain after the latter faced plenty of criticism following the last edition of the biennial event where his squad failed to get the job done against Europe.
Woods, who won the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black, had been the overwhelming favourite to take over as captain but has been busy off the golf course and previously said he was unsure if he could devote the necessary time the position demands.
