Kevin Kisner will serve as one of Keegan Bradley's vice captains for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, marking his debut in a leadership role at the prestigious event. The Ryder Cup is set to take place from September 26 to 28 at Bethpage Black in New York. Kisner, a four-time PGA Tour winner with an impressive match play record, brings significant experience to the team. This announcement comes as the U.S. squad aims to reclaim the trophy from Europe.
Kisner's appointment follows his successful tenure as a captain's assistant for the U.S. team, which secured its 10th consecutive Presidents Cup victory last September. He joins fellow vice captains Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker on Bradley's staff. Bradley expressed confidence in Kisner's addition, emphasizing the value he brings to the team.
"Kevin is a great addition to our leadership group and will be a trusted voice throughout the coming months and this year's Ryder Cup," said Keegan Bradley.
Kisner's love for match play is well documented. The 40-year-old has an impressive career record, having won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in 2019 and finishing runner-up at the same tournament in 2018 and 2022. His career record in three Presidents Cups stands at 2-2-3, further showcasing his skill in match play formats.
"I love match play and the Ryder Cup is one of the greatest events in sports," stated Kevin Kisner.
Despite his notable achievements, Kisner has never been part of a Ryder Cup team until this vice-captaincy role. He looks forward to closely collaborating with Bradley and other key team members as they prepare for the competition. Kisner expressed excitement about his involvement with the Ryder Cup team and supporting his colleagues in their pursuit of victory.
The upcoming Ryder Cup presents an opportunity for the U.S. team to reclaim dominance on home soil. With a strong leadership group and a talented roster, they are poised to challenge Europe's hold on the trophy. Kisner's expertise and passion for match play will undoubtedly be instrumental in shaping the team's strategy and performance.
