Keegan Bradley settled in 11th place in the automatic qualification for the US Ryder Cup team after the 2025 BMW Championship. However, he could pick himself for the team.

Notably, the six players automatically qualify for the biennial tournament, while the remaining six are the captain’s picks. After the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoff, Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Harris English, Russell Henley, and Bryson DeChambeau qualified for the Ryder Cup in the US team.

Earlier this week, Keegan Bradley opened up about his decision to be the playing Ryder Cup captain. He said that it's the "biggest decision" of his life. He said (via Nuclr Golf via X):

"It's very difficult… I'm having a really hard time separating right now my captaincy and my playing. To be honest, I feel like I'm still one of the best players in the world… I figured the likelihood of being completely out of the picture was probably pretty slim…”

“We've been preparing for this since then. It would be easier if I was top six or way out of it. No matter what decision I make, I'm going to be defined by this decision. Bradley said. If we win, it doesn't matter what decision I make," he added.

Keegan Bradley won the 2025 Travelers Championship earlier this year, while his other good finishes are T6 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T5 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and T7 at the Memorial Tournament.

He has been phenomenal with his game this week at the Tour Championship and is in contention for the title after three rounds. The US Ryder Cup captain shot a round of 63 on Saturday and jumped 10 spots on the leaderboard to settle in a solo fourth place, just three strokes behind the leaders Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood. The tournament will have its final on Sunday, August 24.
