$20M-worth golfer opens up on whether he would pick Keegan Bradley for the 2025 Ryder Cup

Keegan Bradley is set to captain Team USA for the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup in September. Brandt Snedeker, who is one of the vice captains, spoke out on the possibility of the former serving as a playing captain at the Medinah Country Club during a press conference.

Snedeker, who is worth $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, revealed that the captain and vice-captains have been on several calls to discuss the lineup for the Ryder Cup. During the press conference, he was asked if he would pick Keegan Bradey to be a part of the roster. To which the PGA Tour star stated that the 12 players are yet to be chosen.

Here's a look at what Brandt Snedeker had to say (via ASAP Sports):

"There's a lot of golf. We have been on a bunch of calls talking about this. here's a lot that's going to change...I think we won't have a clear idea of what the team's going to look like until post-U.S. Open. Post-U.S. Open, we'll start having an idea who's playing the right way, who points-wise is going to be there, who we think would be a great addition to the team room."

Several players and golf enthusiasts alike have expressed their desire to see Keegan Bradley serve Team USA as a playing captain. Brandt Snedeker stated that he backs the potential move due to the Ryder Cup captain's performance at the Presidents Cup.

"I think the way he played last year at the Presidents Cup really showed the guys that this guy is built for team competitions...I think the guys loved seeing his fieriness. They got to see his competitiveness come through. They're seeing that now as his way as a captain and the amount of care he has for these things comes through with the way he plays and the way he captains and the way he talks about it," he said.

Snedeker stated that Keegan Bradley's determination on the golf course pushes and inspires other players to be better. As the top 6 players on the Ryder Cup points list automatically qualify for the event, he believes that Bradley will work hard to earn more points.
