What does this US Ryder Cup team have lacking in others, according to its captain

A common criticism for the past teams of Ryder Cup in renting them loss is that they do not play as a team. They act as individuals, without displaying the first connection and selflessness on the European side. But Keegan Bradley, Who will capture the US team of 2025 In two weeks, it says this year’s US team is nothing like those teams.

On the contrary, they have taken the biggest American weakness and turned it into its head for this year’s Ryder Cup. And, after all, as Bradley claimed in ChampionshipThis may be the “change manufacturer” in Bethpage Black.

Bradley on the US Ryder Cup team: ‘closest team I have ever seen’

Bradley is in Napa this week for PGA Tour’s 2025 ProCore Championship. But as it will happen in Ryder Cup, he is not playing. He is there only in his role as captain of the team.

Ten of the 12 American Ryder Cup players are in the ProCore field, as Bradley works to complete his couples and, most importantly, Get his team in bond.

But as Bradley reporters revealed on Wednesday in ProCore, these players are already a close group.

“Yes, we have a wide range of rookies, veterans, Scottie Scheffler, number 1 player in the world, but we really have a group of a great team,” Bradley said. “These people are … They really care about each other, they treat each other respectfully. Team is the closest team I have ever seen.”

Bradley played on the winning team of the US President Cup last year, Help the American team in a win 18.5-11.5 On the international squad at Royal Montreal. That team presented six Ryder Cup 2025 players except Bradley.

He favorably compared the “dynamics” of this successful American team with this year’s Ryder Cup group.

“Our Cup of Presidents team last year was easily the best room of the team I have ever been a part,” Bradley said. “Something you really dream of as a kid with these team events. This group is – it looks a little different on paper, but it’s still the same dynamic.”

The way Bradley sees it is that this team is distinguished from US Ryder Cup teams in the past.

How does the 2025 Ryder Ryder Cup change from past teams

While in recent years the American and European teams have traded Ryder Cup’s win, it was not always the case.

From 2002-2014, Team Europe dominated the event. They won six by seven times, with the only American victory coming in 2008 in Valhalla.

Bradley’s two appearances as a player in the Ryder Cup came at the end of that forgotten extension: 2012 and 2014. Both were losses for the US team, including in the house in Medinah in 2012.

While those teams, often titled Rivals Tiger Woods and Phil MickelsonThey were noticed for a lack of community, Bradley says his 2025 team could not be different. And he would know.

“This group of players, they are really friends and they are friends in the Golf course, who in my teams I played before that, I don’t know if we had exactly as much as this group did,” Bradley said Wednesday. “They really care about each other.”

He went on: “The thing I have noticed is more impressive is that they really attract each other and they want each other to do well. When I was playing, I was not really attracting for anyone, I wanted to beat and play my best. These people, they are really excited about their friend and this is really a tour.”

The unique features of this American team go beyond its proximity. Bradley said his players have already shown a willingness to calm their ego and do what is best for the team.

“We also have a bunch of young boys and it was good to see the willingness for our boys to really play with anyone,” he said. “Again, I do not necessarily feel like we had it in the past teams I have had. These guys put me with anyone, or who you want to play with it, whoever you want. Veterans willing to us saying that they have not played with boys who have not played a Ryder cup, which is really special.

Bradley runs US team Ryder Cup at battle at Bethpage Black starting on Friday, September 26th.
