Keegan Bradley has been named United States captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Bradley, a two-time Ryder Cup player, emerged as a major contender on Monday, with reports suggesting 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, who was long thought to be the organisation's first choice, had turned down the role.
"I am proud and excited to name Keegan Bradley as captain of the 2025 United States Ryder Cup team," PGA of America president John Lindert said, looking ahead to the event which will be held from September 26-28 next year at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
"Keegan's past Ryder Cup experience, strong relationships and unwavering passion for this event will prove invaluable as he guides the US team over the next year and a half.
"We are confident that with Keegan at the helm, the 2025 US Ryder Cup team will compete at Bethpage with the same confidence and determination that has defined his career."
Bradley, 38, said: "I am incredibly honoured to accept this opportunity to captain the United States team at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
"I would like to thank the PGA of America Ryder Cup Committee for their trust in me as we embark on this journey to Bethpage Black.
"My passion and appreciation for golf's greatest team event have never been stronger.
"The Ryder Cup is unlike any other competition in our sport, and this edition will undoubtedly be particularly special given the rich history and enthusiastic spectators at this iconic course.
"I look forward to beginning preparations for 2025."
