Tom Watson Warns Against Playing-Captain Role | Keegan Bradley’s Ryder Cup Gamble?

Keegan Bradley’s Ryder Cup Gamble? ⚡ Tom Watson Warns Against Playing-Captain Role

⛳ Keegan Bradley is on the verge of making Ryder Cup history — but not everyone thinks it’s a good idea. The 39-year-old U.S. Ryder Cup captain will announce his six captain’s picks live on the Golf Channel, and he could become the first playing-captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.

While Bradley has proven his form with two PGA Tour wins this season, golf legend Tom Watson has strongly warned him against playing, insisting the role demands full focus on leadership. Watson, who captained Team USA to victory in 1993 and defeat in 2014, believes trying to do both would be a major distraction.

🔊 The Debate:
• Tom Watson: “You can’t do it. You can’t be both.”
• Chubby Chandler: “Too much of everything. Imagine deciding to bench Jordan Spieth while you’re still on the 12th hole.”
• Donald Trump: “Keegan Bradley should DEFINITELY play and captain. He’s AMAZING!”
• Sir Nick Faldo: Called it an “impossible job” but urged Bradley to embrace it.

With Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, Ben Griffin, Maverick McNealy, Brian Harman, and Cameron Young all in contention for captain’s picks, Bradley’s decisions will shape Team USA’s bid for a third straight Ryder Cup win on home soil.
