“Needs the experience”; “Totally unreal” – Fans react to Keegan Bradley getting a second captaincy role on the US Presidents Cup team

Fans on social media have reacted to Keegan Bradley's appointment as the vice-captain of the US team for the Presidents Cup. The American professional golfer was named the US team captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup earlier this year, and shortly after, he was given another captaincy role.

The 2024 Presidents Cup is scheduled to take place from September 24 to 29 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Jim Furyk will captain the US team, while Keegan Bradley will serve as vice-captain.

NUCLR Golf shared the news on its X (formerly Twitter) account, writing:

"Keegan Bradley has been named as a vice captain for this fall’s U.S. Presidents Cup team in Montreal."

Fans in the comments section praised Furyk's decision, believing it will help Bradley gain experience in team events ahead of the Ryder Cup. However, some fans were critical of the selection.

"Totally unreal," a fan wrote.

"Good. Needs the experience," commented another fan.

Meanwhile, some fans commented it was a smart move by US team captain Jim Furyk.

Another fan commented, "This will give him a good opportunity to practice acting like a raving maniac from the sidelines as opposed to doing so as a player."

"Very smart move from Furyk," a fan jotted.
