"We'd have to talk” – Keegan Bradley chooses between playing the Ryder Cup or getting $50,000,000

Keegan Bradley's heroics during the 2012 Ryder Cup was one of the most talked about incidents at that time in the golfing fraternity. Although the US team lost that edition, the golfer's 3-0-1 that year had a huge impact on his career.

Recently, while speaking to Dan Rapaport, the Woodstock-born golfer opened up about how badly he wants to make it into the upcoming Rome event. Despite having a stellar show in the 2022-23 season, he struggled to reach the level this year.

"Well, I didn't know if I was gonna get back to this level. Like I wanted to play another Ryder Cup. But, it doesn't matter how much I wanted to play, I may not be able to do it. No matter, how many balls I hit, or dream hours, there was a period I didn't know," he said.

When Rapaport asked him if he would choose 10 million or play Ryder Cup, the golfer immediately replied to play in the prestigious biennial team event.

"I would much rather play the Ryder Cup. Ten million is... you have to [makes up sign]. Fifty (when asked about fifty millions)...?, we'd have to talk [laughs]," Keegan Bradley said.

Keegan Bradley currently stands in 11th position in the Ryder Cup rankings. He might certainly make it into the Zach Johnson-led US team if he manages to get to the top six or be picked by the captain himself.
