“It’s his team” – Jim Furyk makes his stance clear on Keegan Bradley leading the US Ryder Cup team next year

Jim Furyk made his stance clear on Keegan Bradley as the captain of the 2025 Ryder Cup US team, amid a discussion on him possibly assisting the latter at next year's event. Bradley was the assistant captain for the US team at the 2024 Presidents Cup, which was led by Furyk. However, he was later replaced by Brandt Snedeker and he played for the team as one of the captain's picks.

Furyk spoke this week in an interview about next year's edition of the Ryder Cup. Furyk was asked for his thoughts on possibly assisting Bradley next year in New York. The 54-year-old golfer said he would do whatever Bradley wanted. He said (via Golfweek),

"I’ll do whatever Keegan wants. It’s his team. He’s got to make the decisions for who best follows him and either way, I’ve let him know that, you know, in one sense."

Furyk further said that he told Bradley he would liked to see the latter be an assistant captain at the 2024 Presidents Cup, to get a "good look behind the scenes." However, he was happy to see Bradley as part of the team as a player in the Presidents Cup. Furyk said,

"I really wish he was an assistant this year, because he would have got a really good look behind the scenes of what we’re doing. But I’m also happy for him as a player and glad that we got to pick him, and he had a heck of a week as well."

At the 2024 Presidents Cup, the Jim Furyk-led US team played phenomenally well and won the tournament. Apart from Furyk, the team consisted of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay, Sahith Theegala, Keegan Bradley, Sam Burns, Tony Finau, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, and Max Homa.
