Keegan Bradley announces Brandt Snedeker as Vice Captain for the Ryder Cup 2025

Team USA 2025 Ryder Cup captain, Keegan Bradley, has named Brandt Snedeker as his Vice Captain. Together, they have started preparations as they are eager to defeat Europe at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.

With the event spanning from September 26 to 28 next year, Bradley had previously announced Webb Simpson to be his first vice-captain. Here's what the captain had to say about Snedeker:

"As I've started preparing for the 2025 Ryder Cup, I quickly realised that Brandt was someone I wanted by my side. Having competed in two Ryder Cups, including a stellar performance in 2016, Brandt's experience and insight will surely be beneficial to our team in the months ahead. "

Brandt Snedeker has played for team USA in 2012 and 2016. In his last Ryder Cup, he was the only undefeated American golfer with a record of 3-0-0 and also led the team to victory. Grateful for the opportunity, here's what the vice-captain had to say (via the RyderCup website):

" I am so grateful to Keegan and the PGA of America for giving me the opportunity to represent my country in the role of Vice Captain. The Ryder Cup is unlike anything in our sport and I hope to bring the passion and pride to help Keegan deliver his vision of what a Ryder Cup in New York should look like. I am so excited to serve alongside my good friend Webb and know we will do everything in our power to help Keegan and the players be ready for a great competition next September at Bethpage Black. ”
