Keegan Bradley says he is determined to return to the Ryder Cup as a player for the 2027 United States team after a difficult captaincy experience last year. Speaking ahead of this week’s PGA Championship, Bradley continues to reflect on the Ryder Cup in September at Bethpage Black, where the US team suffered a heavy early deficit. He took responsibility for the outcome as the US fell to an 11.5–4.5 record deficit after the first two days, before mounting a fightback that ultimately was not enough to change the overall result.
Both reports describe Bradley calling the experience “brutal” and referring to the personal impact he felt from captaining the side through that stretch of play. Despite that, Bradley says he would like to be part of the 2027 team again, though he acknowledges it will be difficult. He also expresses hope of earning a place on the roster for the next Ryder Cup, which is scheduled to be held at Adare Manor, emphasizing the goal of contributing as a competing player rather than in a leadership role.
