There have been discussions surrounding US team captain Keegan Bradley and whether he will be the playing captain this year at the biennial tournament. Harman praised Bradley for his impressive season and shared his opinion on the topic. Speaking on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio, he said:

"I think Keegan can compartmentalize it. I think he could play and be a captain. When he's a captain, he is a captain. When he's a player, he is a player. He's got a great team around him."

Keegan Bradley opens up about the Ryder Cup team

In the press conference of the 2025 BMW Championship on Wednesday, Keegan Bradley opened up about the Ryder Cup team. He discussed his bond with the players and said, via ASAP Sports:

"I think an advantage that I've had as captain is I'm around the guys. I'm around the guys in practice rounds, in locker rooms, waiting in rain delays. I saw J.J. Spaun at the U.S. Open in this rain delay, and I'm looking at him, and I just like --It didn't seem like he was in this position to win the U.S. Open. Seemed like we were there in a practice round.

"More importantly, getting to know the guys, it's really forced me to really get to know them. They've impacted my career, and I think one of the reasons why I've had a better last couple years is just getting to know them and getting to learn how they go about their career. It's just so much different than mine," he added.
