When Keegan Bradley was named U.S. Ryder Cup captain, the golf world did a double take. A surprise pick, Bradley leapfrogged over more experienced, Hall of Fame-caliber names, sparking both excitement and skepticism about what he could bring to the table.
Now, just months into the role, those who doubted him may want to reconsider—because if passion, preparation, and pure willpower mean anything, Bradley might be the perfect choice to lead Team USA at Bethpage Black.
Kevin Kisner: “This is Keegan’s Sole Mission in Life”
Among those already blown away by Bradley’s approach? None other than Kevin Kisner, one of his vice captains. Appearing on the Fore Play Podcast, Kisner didn’t hold back in praising Bradley’s commitment to the role.
**“The most impressed thing I have been is how involved Keegan Bradley is about this. This is like his sole mission in life—**to do this and do this the right way,” Kisner said.
That level of dedication is something not often seen this early in a Ryder Cup cycle. While some captains take a laid-back approach, Bradley is all in—and it’s making an impact.
Bradley’s Master Plan is Already in Motion
Kisner detailed a sit-down conversation he had with Bradley during a recent practice session, where the captain laid out his vision for Team USA.
“We are eight months out and this dude has a legit plan. He has tons of great ideas, he is the ultimate leader when it comes to running the show. I am blown away by how well he is doing so far.”
That’s a bold endorsement from someone who has been in the trenches of professional golf. Kisner’s reaction suggests that Bradley isn’t just here for the ride—he’s here to change the game.
Can Bradley Translate His Energy into Victory?
Of course, having a plan is one thing—executing it is another. Bradley’s intensity, love for the Ryder Cup, and relentless preparation are undeniable, but will that be enough to lead Team USA to victory on home soil?
One thing’s for sure: Keegan Bradley isn’t waiting around—he’s making his mark now. And if his obsession with getting this right translates onto the course, the skeptics might soon be eating their words.
