Keegan Bradley Opens Up on Ryder Cup Defeat: “I’ll Never Get Over This”

Posted : 22 October 2025
Keegan Bradley says he may never recover from the USA’s 15-13 Ryder Cup loss to Europe at Bethpage.

Keegan Bradley fears he will “never get over” the USA’s Ryder Cup defeat by Europe after enduring “one of the toughest times” of his life since the loss in New York.

The 39-year-old captained Team USA at Bethpage in September, overseeing a disappointing campaign as Europe secured a 15-13 victory, becoming the first team to win away since 2012. Bradley’s appointment made him the youngest captain of either side since Arnold Palmer in 1963.

He admitted to making some questionable calls, with his pairings and course set-up receiving scrutiny after the defeat.

“Since Bethpage, this has been one of the toughest times in my life. You win, it’s glory for a lifetime—but I didn’t, and I’m going to have to sit with this for the rest of my life. There’s no part of me that thinks I’ll ever get over this. This event has been so brutal to me. I’ll forever wonder and wish,” Bradley said in his first press conference since the event.

Despite a dramatic final-day comeback, Team USA faced too much of a deficit after Europe built a 5½-2½ lead on day one, extended to 11½-4½ by day two—the largest lead in modern Ryder Cup history. The hosts won 8½ of 12 singles matches, but it wasn’t enough.

Bradley had initially considered a player-captain role but opted out, citing physical exhaustion by the second day of competition.

“I just didn’t think I could do both jobs,” he explained.

Bradley has now lost three Ryder Cups as a player and captain, including Medinah 2012 and Gleneagles 2014, and remains available for future editions despite uncertainty about another captaincy. The next Ryder Cup takes place at Adare Manor, Ireland, from September 17–19, 2027.
