Pure Vibes: 2025 Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley selects second Vice Captain, Brandt Snedeker

Keegan Bradley, the US’s 2025 Ryder Cup captain, clearly has an idea of how he wants his team to be structured already. On Monday he announced that Brandt Snedeker would join Webb Simpson at side as a Vice Captain. 

Clearly experience and demeanor brought Snedeker to the top of Bradley’s list for his Ryder Cup assistants. The experience for Snedeker in the Ryder has been a roller coaster to this point.

Having felt both sides of the outcome on home soil is a major contributing factor to Bradley choice.  In 2012 he was a captain’s pick for Davis Love in the American’s collapse on home soil at Medinah CC. He then returned in 2016 after a one event hiatus to dominant 3-0 record, helping lead the US to a win at Hazeltine CC. In total his record as an individual at the Ryder Cup is 4-2-0. Snedeker was also a member of the victorious U.S. Team at the 2013 Presidents Cup.

Snedeker expressed his excitement shortly after the Ryder Cup announcement today as well:

Snedeker’s career has included 13 career professional victories with nine coming on the PGA TOUR, including the 2012 TOUR Championship. He earned PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year honors in 2007 and has collected 79 top-10 finishes in 433 career TOUR starts.

On top of this news the emotional month for Snedeker was underway when he was named the 2024 recipient of the PGA TOUR’s Payne Stewart Award, presented annually to a professional golfer who best exemplifies Stewart’s steadfast values of character, charity and sportsmanship.

At 46 years old Snedeker would be far from the oldest golfer to make the team on top of being a vice Captain, but it’ll be a tall task as he currently sits at 753rd in the world……..Hey, it could happen!
