Very strange choice.

I have a lot local friends who know Keegan and they all say he's a great guy. I've heard he's not that well liked on Tour. I guess he can be a bit on the intense side, which may be what's needed at the Ryder Cup.

I hope he does well.

Mr. & Mrs. Cink are safe.

Keegan is very intense, and as a bonus he is a die hard Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots fan. I applaud the excellent Captains choice : )

Let's hope the selection gets controversial, with lots of arguments among the players, and splits the team into warring camps! ;)

I can give you a reasonably well-informed (but not necessarily factual) reason why Tiger is out.

Tiger is one of the main obstacles to the LIV/PGA truce. He's also extremely close with Seth Waugh, former CEO of the PGA of America. Seth got bounced from his position about a month ago. A number of rumored reasons, but he's basically a big-mouthed, empty suit (opinion).

Tiger was all set for the 2025 Captaincy, when Phil moved to LIV. The Captaincy carries with it, all sorts of public relations and preparatory expectations, that are of zero interests to Tiger. What I've read, was the Tiger was so tight with Seth, that he figured he could be a sort of an "Honorary Captain", show up when he felt like it and Seth would cover for him. With Seth gone and the mood at the PGA changing, Tiger decided it wasn't his time. He'd rather invest his time with the LIV/PGA story and see how much more money he and his adoring fanboys can extort from the PGA Tour.

In case no one has noticed, Tiger doesn't feel the need to exert energy on anything that doesn't benefit Tiger Woods' pocketbook, legacy or libido.

Keegan Bradley on the other hand would probably cut off a hand to see the Red Sox win the World Series and cut off a leg to solidify a USA win at the Ryder Cup.

The last time the PGA of America went out on a limb in choosing a Ryder Cup Captain, they got crucified (Tom Watson). They're went out on a limb of a different sort this time. Keegan came as a huge surprise to most everyone, but the consensus seems to be, he'll be great. Same as it was for Tom Watson. I hope the results are different.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

One's man's bonus is another man's detriment.

New York seems have taken a liking to Keegan.

He graduated from St. John's in Queens.

Bradley is a great pick for Ryder Cup Captain IMHO. Perhaps he will be just what is needed for The United States Team. In recent years we have got our “butts” kicked when we had the most talent but consistently lost the cup.

New Yorkers like Keegan.

They DO NOT like the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I sense your disdain for Boston sports and traffic Doc. We gotta stop winning so many damn championships in this town.....so we can appease our ‘visitors’ and cut down on those rolling duck boat parades that shut down the city and snarl traffic. :1rotfl:

Well yeah, no one likes a bully and the Patriots, Celtics and Bruins have bullied NY teams for years.

Your Yankees haven't done so bad for themselves and the Giants beat Brady and the Patriots in the most important NFL game in history.

The NY bums haven't done bad for themselves. Give the Boston guys a break.

Perkins is more than just a pancake house and they've always had delicious dinner rolls.

I'm keeping the card.
