let’s get to the really big news that is GNA come out when this podcast gets released because at noon eastern time on Tuesday we’re rather confident that Keegan Bradley will be named the 2025 Ridder Cup captain at Beth Page black so I think this name is going to shock a lot of people I know it shocked us when we heard but I’m here for it I’m pumped about this I didn’t even know this was a possibility like going in it’s like okay I think it’s Tigers if he wants it I think that was pretty clear turns out he probably doesn’t want it and then there was a few other names kind of the The Usual Suspects the guys that have been around we’ kind of retre you know retread these guys out there and it wasn’t a whole lot no disrespect to any of those guys I was like I think we need like a facelift in this thing like look at what Europe’s doing Luke Donald young guy still playing great look at the guys he had around the mle and Ari Brothers play a huge huge role in that thing over there both young relationships with the players karts over there was spectacular I was hoping we’d get young the problem is like if you want to get younger it’s hard to find a guy that’s old enough to not be competitive and still playing but young enough to be relatable to all these guys the list is very short but I didn’t even think Keegan was on it I mean he won twice last year he’s had two runner UPS this year I thought he was like hellbent on making the team but this is a pretty tough thing to turn down if it comes your way s he’s 19th in the world yeah he’s up he’s like right next to Justin Thomas on the Ryder Cup standings right now like you think Justin’s thinking about making the team you know yeah it’s he thought he should have been on the team like last year a lot of people did but I think this is great Keegan is very passionate he’s very patriotic we’ve saw him how he played in his two Rider cups um back in 2012 2014 he went 4-2 playing alongside Phil Mickelson but I I was looking at something earlier I said imagine telling yourself when Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley were teammates at Madina that one of you will be Captain Kean will be a captain before Phil I mean it’s it’s so much has changed since then but like there was a time a few years back before all of it where we I would have bet a lot there’s Phil Mickelson at B page on for the US side Ian polter for the European side probably two of the more fiery guys polter for sure he’s the villain in New York is like boom the beted is made for that and then now things change MOX he will be KS could drag in Phil on the old Vice Captain SE would that ruffle some that would be awesome and I told you my idea on radio if they don’t do this I think we’re we’re making a huge mistake there’s a fella that’s got this rather famous logo that wears on his shoes looks like he’s jumping through the air holding a basketball he’s rather good friends with man named Michael Jordan who loves the Ridder cup he’s been a assistant captain at the President’s Cup comes to pretty much every Ridder cup but that crowd in New York is going to be unbelievable it’s going to be rockus the first te I’ve already we’ve seen pictures of what the first te is going to look like it’s going to be a joke it’s that place is going to be jumping you’ve been to an opening ceremony at the rider cup twice now imagine okay we’re getting ready to go it’s 6:30 in the morning got the Chicago Bulls theme song coming on the intro music coming on first person out the tunnel Michael Jordan to get the thing going you don’t think that place will go insane I mean it’d be I think we need to do that just whatever it takes like home field advantage is crazy we saw it over there you until you like kind of experience it and also they got to Great starts in all those matches it just felt like everything was going their way the momentum was all on their side the entire time over there I I think New York is going to be I’m a little cons I think it could get out of hand at times but that’s what I love about like this is a rer cup it’s different it ain’t the normal deal and I want us to go full bore on this and with their relationship between Keegan and MJ yeah Trot them out by the way how about some custom JS for the boys when they go out there too there’s a lot of yeah and us obviously of course there’s a a lot of ways to go with this but to sum it all up I had no idea Keegan was even in consideration wasn’t a name I would have brought up on my top 15 just because I thought he was so still hellbent on making this next vintage of the US team but now that it’s been announced dude I love it I I love the fact that we’re finally like going to switch things up a little bit let’s get a little younger and I think his vice captaincies will reflect that too we’ll have a little bit of Veteran in there and I think he’ll have some contemporary guys too so well hopefully all this stuff that got leaked it’s true or else we’re going have to record sh segment if somebody else comes out and takes it we’re running back Zack Johnson

  1. Very happy for Keegan, but when you think about it's really SAD. What could of been, Phil goes from winning the PGA being perhaps the most loved individual in golf to a pariah…all because he's a DEGENERATE GAMBLER and had to go to LIV because he had to cover his debts. He would of been the Captain, he would of been groomed to take Nick Faldos spot at CBS and when all was said and done the $ he would of made on TV would of far surpassed his LIV payout. It's just SAD and PATHETIC. CONGRATULATIONS KEEGAN nice payback for getting screwed over last Ryder cup.

  2. Great choice, Keegan cares and is passionate. For Tiger it matters a lot less, just a box to tick. For Keegan a pivotable life achievement. Phil as vice captain?

  3. Colt, you do NOT understand New York at all…Knicks fans would not respond well to the Bulls song or Jordan…sorry.

  4. Keegan is a great choice, I hope he picks players based on their current status and not on where they live, …

  5. This story is incredibly redemptive following the disappointment of not being chosen last time, with Johnson going trigger-happy picking his buddies.

  6. We always underrate some players and overrate others. Nobody was shocked by stricter because he was the one non major winner who was in the circle. Also, LIV messed up the pecking order a bit. This was probably always Phil’s until he left and now the loyalty to the pga tour will be rewarded.
