Farmingdale, NY — Keegan Bradley, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, is gearing up for the highly anticipated 45th Ryder Cup scheduled to take place from September 23-28, 2025, at the challenging Bethpage Black Golf Course. Bradley’s familiarity with this iconic course, where he played college golf at St. John’s University, adds a unique perspective as he prepares to lead his team.
As excitement builds for the tournament, Bradley emphasized the importance of Bethpage to the local community. He expressed enthusiasm for the vibrant atmosphere expected during the event, recognizing the passion of local fans. The course’s reputation for its difficulty and stunning landscapes makes it a significant venue not just for players, but for spectators as well.
As the captain, Bradley faces a critical deadline of August 27 to finalize his 12-member squad. Six players have already earned automatic spots on the team, including Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English, and Bryson DeChambeau. In addition, Bradley himself is under consideration for one of the final six positions as he currently ranks 12th in the Official World Golf Rankings.
The upcoming season has been particularly fulfilling for Bradley, who has balanced his dual responsibilities as player and captain throughout the year. However, he recognizes the emotional challenge of communicating selections, stating that informing players who are not selected can be one of the most difficult aspects of the role.
With preparations well underway, the U.S. team will once again be aligned with Ralph Lauren, who will provide uniforms and tailored clothing for the event. This marks the seventh consecutive Ryder Cup that the American team will be outfitted by the fashion brand. The Ralph Lauren collection for this event includes special items such as a satin jacket, showcasing designs that pay homage to Bethpage Black through their patriotic red, white, and blue themes.
The team also boasts veterans like Scheffler and Schauffele, who bring experience from previous Ryder Cups, adding depth and strategy to the team selection process. Schauffele, for instance, has a positive record from his debut, which boosts enthusiasm about the U.S. chances in the upcoming tournament. Currently, odds from FanDuel Sportsbook indicate that the American team is slightly favored to win, highlighting the anticipation surrounding their performance on home soil.
Overall, the approach to this Ryder Cup reflects careful evaluation and strategic planning, with Bradley tapping into both his competitive spirit and other roles as captain. The combination of established veterans and upcoming talents positions the United States team as a strong contender in the race for victory at Bethpage Black.
