Trevor Immelman wasn't in favor of Keegan Bradley serving as the playing captain; hence, he shared a list of six golfers who could be captain's picks. In a X post made on his social media handle on August 26, Immelman wrote:

“Is Keegan currently one of the 12 best American players? Yes, but because he’s the Captain, I don’t think he should play. IMO he should focus on being a leader for the US Team and their fans. I’d add these picks to the 6 auto’s: Thomas, Cantlay, Young, Burns, Griffin, Morikawa.”

Bradley stepped down from his playing captain role, and he picked Ludvig Åberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, and Sepp Straka. After giving up his chance to play in the patriotic battle, he said, via the Guardian:

“If I felt I needed to play in this team to help the team win, I would have…The decision was made a while ago that I wasn’t playing. The last 48 hours we had the team set. We weren’t scrambling at all. This was a really tough decision. I would say there was a point this year where I was playing, a while ago, and all these guys stepped up in a major way and played their way on to this team. That’s something that I’m really proud of and something that I really wanted.”

Bradley ended by stating that he grew up wanting to play Ryder Cups and fight alongside other golfers. So, it was heart-wrenching to let the dream go. Since he was chosen as the captain, it was his primary job. He also added that he would try to be the best captain he could be.
