Golf superstar Rory McIlroy has dropped his strongest hint yet about captaining Europe in a future Ryder Cup, while American Keegan Bradley's surprise bid for the 2025 US captaincy has sent shockwaves through the sport.
McIlroy's Captaincy Ambitions
The four-time major winner revealed he's already thinking about leading Team Europe, though likely not until the 2027 or 2029 tournaments. "It's something I'd love to do one day," McIlroy admitted, acknowledging the immense honour of following in the footsteps of legendary European captains.
Bradley's Bold Move
In a stunning development, 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2025 US captaincy at Bethpage Black. The 38-year-old's unexpected interest comes despite lacking previous vice-captaincy experience typically seen as prerequisite for the role.
Ryder Cup Controversy Continues
The news comes amid ongoing debate about the future direction of the biennial competition. McIlroy recently made headlines with his criticism of the US team's selection process, while Bradley's potential appointment would mark a dramatic departure from tradition.
With two years until the next Ryder Cup at Bethpage's notoriously tough Black Course, the battle for leadership positions promises to be as competitive as the tournament itself.
