Keegan Bradley and his Team USA were not able to win the Ryder Cup on their home soil. The team fared poorly during the first two days, and their strong performance in the Sunday singles was insufficient to cover the lead. Bradley addressed the loss for the first time since the tournament at the Travelers Championship media day, sharing how his emotions have been really low since then.
The 39-year-old golfer revealed how he and others had planned so much for the tournament, but things did not go as planned. Bradley also stated that he wished he could have competed in the tournament because things might have turned out differently. NUCLR Golf posted Bradley's statement, and a small portion of it read,
"You win, it's glory for a lifetime. You lose, it's 'I'm going to have to sit with this for the rest of my life. There's no part of me that thinks I'll ever get over this. Since the Ryder Cup, till now, has been one of the toughest times in my life. You put so much into it, and you have all this planning, and the first two days went as poorly as we could have ever thought."

Keegan Bradley discusses how he was incredibly exhausted during the 2025 Ryder Cup due to captain duties
When Keegan Bradley did not select himself as the playing captain, he explained that it was due to the captain's duties, which would tire him out. He stated during the Travelers Championship media day that after the first two days of the event, he was relieved he did not play in it. The golfer stated,
"By the second or third day, I was like 'It's a good thing I'm not playing, because I was so physically exhausted.... Good thing I didn't do it, because it would have been bad. I just didn't think I could do both jobs."
Bradley also hinted that he is looking forward to playing in one more Ryder Cup, but is unsure whether he will have the opportunity.
