Ryder Cup Buzz Builds as Team Captains Reveal Lineups
FRISCO, TEXAS – The 2025 Ryder Cup may be three weeks away, but the excitement is already underway. The first headlines came not from Bethpage Black, but from Frisco, Texas, where Team USA captain Keegan Bradley confirmed he would not play, ending speculation about becoming the first playing captain in 62 years.
Bradley, who announced his six picks last Wednesday, emphasized a team-first approach, noting that four of his selections are ranked below him in the world rankings. “The decision was made a while ago that I wasn’t playing,” Bradley said, highlighting the focus on building the strongest possible team.
Team USA now leads the pre-tournament buzz.
Meanwhile, Team Europe captain Luke Donald unveiled his lineup on Monday at the Sky Sports studio in London with no suspense: the same 12 players who defeated the Americans in Rome two years ago, with Rasmus Hojgaard replacing his identical twin, Nicolai.
The announcement spotlighted the six captain’s picks, all beaming with excitement at the chance to represent Europe, sending a clear message of unity and confidence heading into the prestigious tournament.
Fans are counting down the days as both teams prepare for what promises to be a thrilling Ryder Cup showdown at Bethpage Black.
