Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald could be dreading ‘epic’, says Rich Beem as he backs US captain to play in future contests
Rich Beem backs Team USA captain Keegan Bradley to play in future Ryder Cups after opting against selecting himself for 2025 contest at Bethpage Black; Beem says skipper Luke Donald is Europe’s biggest asset; watch Ryder Cup live on Sky Sports from September 26-28
Keegan Bradley can still one day play at a Ryder Cup but will be dreading what threatens to be a thriller at Bethpage this September, believes Rich Beem.
Bradley put to bed questions over his potential involvement as the first player-captain since 1963 on Wednesday as he announced his six picks to complete Team USA’s line-up.
The world No 11 unveiled Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns as his chosen players ahead of the 45th edition of the Ryder Cup from September 26-28, live on Sky Sports.
Bradley admitted he was heartbroken to have left himself out, but Beem insists his Ryder Cup dream does not have to end there.
Beem: Bradley has playing Ryder Cup in him in future
“I think I’d like to say yes [he could still play one day] because wouldn’t it be cool that you were on the Ryder Cup the time before and suddenly now you’re playing,” said Beem on the Sky Sports Golf Podcast.
“How much experience do you have over any other player?
“I think that Keegan still has plenty of gas in the tank to get out there and play. I think he’s got the desire and I don’t think that’s ever going to leave him, so it’ll be interesting to see.
“We’ve got to get past this one and we’ve got to see how this one is going to turn out, because I don’t think it’s going to be easy and I think that both captains are somewhat dreading it.
“This could go right down to the wire and it could be a win or a loss by a point. I can’t think of anything more miserable than to sit there and to lose something that means so much to all these players to lose by a point. It’s going to be epic.”
Bradley will be relieved after picks announced
Bradley’s prospective self-inclusion had emerged as the biggest talking point ahead of Wednesday’s announcement, with the 39-year-old playing some of the best golf of his career after two wins on the PGA Tour since being named captain last June.
Burns was the final name to be announced having featured as part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team.
“I think that [Bradley] looked more relieved that the process was over,” said Beem. “When he mentioned Sam Burns, I literally felt relief and – to me – it looked like he was relieved. It looked like he was ready to be done with it.
“When you go into that arena and you have all those eyeballs on you, it sometimes can be uncomfortable, but I think the way that he handled it all was brilliant.
“I know that he’s going to be glad when he finally gets no more cameras, doesn’t have to answer anything, gets on a plane, goes home and says, ‘all right, now it’s time to get to work’. I thought that that press conference was brilliant.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
