Keegan Bradley Makes Stance Clear About LIV Golfers on His Ryder Cup Team

Keegan Bradley made it clear on whether or not he will have LIV Golfers on his Ryder Cup team.

Bradley was officially named Captain for the Americans as they will play the Europeans at Bethpage Black next year, attempting to capture the Ryder Cup once again.

However, one of the big questions going into the captaincy was whether LIV Golfers would be one of the choices available for Bradley. Last year, only one LIV Golfer was on either Ryder Cup team, and it was Brooks Koepka, who almost held an automatic spot after his win at the PGA Championship.

Zach Johnson had no choice but to pick Koepka, but he also didn't pick Bryson DeChambeau, who was arguably more deserving than several other names.

Bradley says that when the time comes to make his Captain's Picks, it won't matter where they play, he wants the best team out there:

"I'm going to have the 12 best players on the team. I don't care where they play...I don't care about the LIV stuff."

Bradley confirmed this during his press conference earlier today, which clarified several things, including who told him that he had won the Captaincy after Tiger Woods declined it.

“We’re going to have the 12 best players on the team. I don’t care where they play. We are on a mission to win at Bethpage,” Keegan Bradley on LIV golfers on the team.

Bradley will be ready to bring the Ryder Cup back to the United States, and Americans will be ecstatic to hear that the team will be rounded out with the best talent possible instead of only PGA TOUR players.

For the Ryder Cup, politics should be set aside. It's about getting the best team out there, no matter where they play.
