Ryder Cup SHOCKER! Keegan Bradley’s Unexpected Snub



With two wins and a Top 10 finish at the TOUR Championship this PGA TOUR season, many fans are left scratching their heads as to why Keegan Bradley was left off Team Captain, Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup picks.

In this video we’ll dive into who made Team USA with Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup Captain’s picks, including big names like Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka, along with one of Zach’s most shocking selections: Justin Thomas. Needless to say the 2023 Ryder Cup will be electric, with an all-star list of players on both the European Ryder Cup team and the American Ryder Cup Team, but the debate rages on as to whether some key names were intentionally “snubbed” and left off the team. On the top of that list is Keegan Bradley, a veteran golfer with prior Ryder Cup experience who had an outstanding season on the PGA TOUR. Why are we not seeing Keegan Bradley in Rome for the 2023 Ryder Cup?

  1. Old boys club Zach. Not surprised. They need to DUMP this 6 picks for the captain BS. The whole point was to allow a captain flexibility to pick a couple guys who are showing current form. Zach flipped that good concept the bird. They need to go back to 8 auto qualifiers and 4 picks. If Spieth and JT get rolled in Rome and the USA loses again over there, it will all be on the captain. If they win, all will be forgotten.

  2. Isn't it ironic that in a sport that is highly individualistic, Keegan Bradley isn't selected because he isn't a team player??

  3. How many tournaments do you have to win in one year to get the nod. Justin Thomas didn’t even make the top 70 in the playoffs. JT is a great player, he’s just not playing well right now. He should have declined to invite. He is going to be a disappointment.

  4. Koepka doesn't belong in this and neither does JT. Bradley and Glover both won twice and they are probably never going to be this close again at their age. Thomas won nothing. I guess they aren't part of the Jupiter clique. Go Europe!

  5. Boys Club back door. Will Ricky, Jordan and JT always make the Ryder Cup team no matter how bad they play. To Capt. Zack playing well doesn’t matter. Keagan you need to play better I guess.

  6. The only real snub is Glover. That putter is red hot, and it's really a putting contest. I think the picks were not horrible, but more of a 'team' and 'buddy' basis. Europe is going to be difficult to beat period.

  7. IMO…KB s/b on the team…not JT, this time around! It's hard not to pick LG too [2 very recent, strong wins]…possibly over CM [not so great record] or RF [same reason]…although his play way much better the past yearish!!! Agreed, ZJ was going to be criticized in any scenario! As always…love the content…keep up the Great work! Thanks

  8. Keegan and Lucas might have their bags already packed, going to the LIV Tour. As fans suffer another disappointment, as sponsors who put up purse monies decline, as TV viewership ratings decline, as the players themselves avoid meaningful progress to enhance their future, will golf become the next dinosaur, gone but not yet forgotten?

  9. Spot on ! Selecting JT amounts to the concept, that it doesn''t matter how much your game stinks, as long as you are a heck of a guy. JT is a joke for US Ryder Cup team member. Imagine the pressure he will be under on the first tee of his first match in Rome . .

  10. JT has been the shits this season. Brooks defected and got paid. Keegan did his work this season and got absolutely shafted by Zack!! I'm cheering for the home team!

  11. My thing with JT is that he purposely skipped Dell Matchplay because it is a course he has struggled at. If he isn't comfortable at a course to play it because of struggles, how does playing in Rome change his confidence with struggles he has had as a whole this year. This isn't an American venue he can bring energy with. The golf course will eat you alive if you struggle which is why I was hoping Keegan was picked over JT.

  12. The only way you “earn” a spot is to qualify on points. Keegan didn’t. If JT doesn’t work out it’s on ZJ. Let’s get behind this talented team that has the chemistry to take down Europe. If you need a history lesson on bad USA Ryder Cups read Shane Ryan’s book about the Ryder Cup. A lot of really good players that weren’t good teams. My favorite quote from the movie Miracle is when Herb Brooks says, “I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right ones.” I have a lot of faith in Team USA.

  13. JT was solely selected because he’s part of the clique…he’s been terrible the last three months and if he’s terrible at the Ryder cup Zach is gonna hear it for a long time

  14. Keegan Bradley was passed over because of his close relationship with Phil Mickelson. Sam Burns was only picked because of his friendship with Scottie Scheffler. Should have had Bradley & Lucas Glover instead of Burns and Justin Thomas. Hope the US gets their asses handed to them. Won't be watching!!!!

  15. Based on tee to green, approach shots and putting….Fowler and Morikawa are locks. Looking at possible pairings for group play, I don't see how Bradley wasn't selected.
