"He's one of the best friends I can ever have so, you know, I'll use his knowledge as I do for everything but you know, he goes to the Ryder Cup to watch it and he's passionate. He'll be pissed if we lose so like we've got to win this Ryder Cup," he added.

Keegan Bradley has made it clear that he will have the best players in the US Ryder Cup team respective of the circuit they play in.
"I'm going to have the 12 best players on the team," he said as per Sporst Illustrated. "I don’t care where they play. We have a mission to win this tournament. I’m not worried about the LIV stuff. By the time we get to Bethpage in 2025, we have no clue how the layout is going to be."
Last year, the Ryder Cup squad featured Brooks Koepka from LIV Golf, while the rest of the players were from the PGA Tour. However, there were discussions about selecting a few other players from the Saudi-backed circuit, particularly Bryson DeChambeau and Talor Gooch, who were having a strong season.
With over a year until the next Ryder Cup, it will be intriguing to observe the future developments in the selection of the US squad.
