Rory McIlroy shared his views on Keegan Bradley being the playing captain

Rory McIlroy joined the press conference at the Genesis Scottish Open to share his views on Keegan Bradley, who might serve as the playing captain at the upcoming Ryder Cup. McIlroy said ( via ASAP Sports):

“Keegan has played great. He's had a great year. He had the win at the Travelers. Obviously I'm not in those conversations and from an outside perspective, it's going to be interesting to see what the U.S. Team does with that. I definitely think the U.S. Team is better with Keegan playing than not playing. I definitely think he's one of the best 12 American players right now. It's going to be an interesting couple months to see how that all shakes out.”

He continued,

“I think they give the captaincy -- it's a different perspective, absolutely. It really feels like it's a player-led team in America, and obviously we have our input as player on The European Team but we do have that one figurehead in Luke. I think that's important.”

McIlroy will serve for the European team at the 2025 Ryder Cup, and the tournament will start on September 26 at Bethpage Black Course, Farmingdale, New York. The last Ryder Cup was won by the European side in 2023, when Luke Donald led the team.
