Kevin Kisner named Vice Caption for Ryder Cup in 2025

Kevin Kisner is officially part of the Ryder Cup. In 2025, the American golfer will join Keegan Bradley's staff to help get Team USA back in the win column. The Americans will host at Bethpage Black after being trounced at Marco Simone last year.

Bradley replaced Zach Johnson as captain after Bradley was snubbed last year as a player, and he's now named Kisner to be one of the vice captains. Kisner officially joins Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker on the staff.

The next step for everyone involved once the captain's staff is set is to begin considering players. Six players will make it on their own, but the other six slots have to be filled, too.

The automatic qualifications don't come until this summer, but the captains will have to analyze everyone in case the captains want to use one of their six choices to name them to the team.
