U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley surprised a group of random golfers at Bethpage by giving them tickets to the upcoming Ryder Cup tournament, which will be held in the United States this September. This unexpected gesture came as the golf world prepares for one of the sport’s most anticipated biennial events.
On August 18, Bradley approached several attendees at the Bethpage venue and gifted them tickets to attend the Ryder Cup. Sports analyst Mark Cannizzaro posted a video on his X account documenting the moment and providing an update on the U.S. Ryder Cup team composition. Bradley’s squad currently includes Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Harris English, Russell Henley, and Bryson DeChambeau, with six more players to be announced before the tournament begins.
There has been speculation about whether Bradley will participate as a player while serving as captain, but he has not clarified his decision. Having enjoyed a strong 2025 PGA Tour season and ranking 11th on the automatic qualification list, there remains uncertainty about his role during the event. This leaves fans wondering if Bradley will take on the rare dual responsibility of playing captain.
Keegan Bradley Presents New Uniforms for the U.S. Ryder Cup Team
Bradley appeared on the Today Show to reveal the official uniforms the U.S. Ryder Cup team will wear. The U.S. Ryder Cup social media account shared a brief clip of the captain unveiling the attire along with an insightful interview discussing his possible playing role. When asked about whether he would compete as a player, Bradley said,
“So when this process started, we didn’t know where this was going to fall. It turns out, you know, I got a chance to make the team but I’m going to do what I think is best for the United States Ryder Cup team. As of right now, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

The uniforms are designed to reflect both tradition and modernity throughout the three days of the competition. On the first day, the U.S. players will sport navy pants with a polo shirt that features black and white stripes on the bottom half, separated by a red-and-white band from a blue upper section. The shirt includes a zipper detail and the Ryder Cup logo on the side.
For day two, the team will change into a navy blue polo shirt with a white collar, accented by the letters USA and the country’s flag printed on the side. This shirt will be paired with white pants, maintaining a clean and classic look.
The final day will feature a retro-inspired ensemble, with a shirt divided into a navy lower half and a white upper half. Red and blue stripes, along with the Ryder Cup logo, add a vintage flair to the design. Blue pants will complete the outfit for the decisive last day of the Ryder Cup matches.
This tournament is significant not only because it returns to U.S. soil but also due to the potential impact of Bradley’s captaincy choices on team dynamics and performance. Fans and players alike are closely watching to see which six additional golfers will secure their spots and whether Bradley will take to the course as a competing captain. The event promises intense competition and national pride as the U.S. team aims to reclaim or defend the coveted Ryder Cup trophy.
