In a significant announcement, U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has confirmed that he intends to select Bryson DeChambeau for the upcoming Ryder Cup, scheduled from September 26 to September 28 at Bethpage Black State Park in Farmingdale, New York. This decision comes after DeChambeau’s highly publicized exclusion from the U.S. team. In 2023 they were dealt a humiliating defeat by Europe.
DeChambeau, who has been one of the key figures in the controversy surrounding LIV Golf, has had his share of Ryder Cup wins and losses. He has played for each of the last two teams to win it all and on the last team standing in an eventual championship matchup. Bradley, recognizing DeChambeau’s potential impact on the team, stated he would utilize one of his six captain’s picks to ensure the golfer’s participation if he does not secure one of the top six spots in the standings.
Bryson is going to be a hugely important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup. He brings so much. He’s probably one of the top three players on the planet,” Bradley said at a press conference. He’s a great player, and he brings some amazing energy and passion to the game!
The U.S. team will be counting on the not-so secret weapon Bryson DeChambeau to help lead them to victory over their arch-rivals from across the pond. Even the golfer himself drummed up excitement and motivation leading into the biggest event of its kind, which is golf’s version of the Olympics.

No doubt, with DeChambeau on board, he’ll help charge the team with excitement and whip up enthusiastic support from local/homecountry fans. He noted that he can “bring a lot of energy and a tsunami of a crowd that’s going to be rooting for Team USA,” highlighting his awareness of the emotional aspect that comes with competing on home soil.
The inclusion of DeChambeau might end up being key for the U.S. team as they look to atone after their most recent defeat. Yet his stature as one of golf’s elite players puts him in a strong position. He’s undoubtedly a key asset for the USU-20s in what should be a very competitive tournament. What connects Bradley and DeChambeau is their confidence in their abilities to change the game. With the Ryder Cup fast approaching, the excitement among fans and pundits is palpable.
