Keegan Bradley reflected on the difficulties of being the potential playing captain at the 2025 Ryder Cup after his remarkable start at the PGA Championship. The American golfer managed a 3-under 68 score in the opening round at the Quail Hollow Golf Club.During the press conference of the tournament, Keegan Bradley was asked if he had considered being the playing captain for the Ryder Cup, which is scheduled to take place in September. In response, he said (via Aspa Sports):"I don't know. I want to help the team the best I can. If that means playing, then I'll do that. But you know, I think it's pretty difficult to do both. But I have incredible vice captains, including Jim Furyk, who has done this before. Snedeker and Webb and Kisner have all been assistants."We have a great team. But if it comes down to do I think that's what will help us win, that's what I'll do. But yeah, that's the only thought in my head," he added.Keegan Bradley has had a good outing so far on the PGA Tour in 2025. He started this season with a T15 finish at The Sentry and has since recorded some remarkable finishes. He settled for T6 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T5 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and T18 at the RBC Heritage.Meanwhile, this week at the PGA Championship, Bradley tied for ninth after the opening round.
