The next Ryder Cup will be held from September 26 to 28, 2025 in the hell of Bethpage Black, New York. He American captain Keegan Bradley and European captain Luke Donaldspoke about the preparations to be made in the event at a joint press conference held in New York with just one year left before the meeting between the US and Europe.
It was a friendly question and answer session where the captains discussed a wide range of topics, including how they will build their teams, whether LIV Golf players will be accepted and whether Bradley will be a captain or a player.
“Right now, my focus is on being the captain, but I’m still a full-time player,” said Bradley, 38. “I will continue playing in all the majors and in all the big events next year. So I have a real chance of making the team. For now, I am focusing on my boys and preparing them for the tournament.”
So does Donald, who has the advantage of captaining Europe for the second time. He led the team to a 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory last year at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club near Rome.
“It’s great to be here in New York. It’s an incredible city, with incredible energy, and to have the opportunity to captain Europe again is really special. It’s a great honor, a blessing. Several times I said that moment when we won in Rome was the best and the highlight of my career, and to hear those 12 men scream for two more years was definitely, for me, a personal moment of joy and it’s an honor that they want me to come back and represent them as captain again”.
Donald plans to complete his team with 12 players who will give Europe the best chance to win, including those from the LIV circuit. That includes the Spaniards Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcíaas well as his English compatriots Tyrrell Hatton. He said he talked to them about what they need to do to potentially qualify, either through points or through the selection of a captain.
“I’ve talked to everybody who has a chance to be in that team. It’s great to see Jon (Rahm) do what he has to do to stay fit and see him in Spain, and last week he played well against Alfred Dunhill in “Scotland. We keep talking. Again, I talk to all the players, him, Tyrrell. It was great to see Tyrrell win last week at Saint Andrews.”
Luke added: “The rules of the DP World Tour are very consistent. There’s been a lot of clarity about it. Really, it’s the same as in Rome. You have to be a member of the tour and born in Europe. If you meet the requirements and the rules that they set the DP World Tour, you deserve a lot of LIV Golf guys who deserve right now, so I can choose them if I want to think is vital for the team and I have been maintained it “, assured the European captain regarding the situation of two of his great figures… and LIV Golf.
Donald finally said Rory McIlroy He has emerged as the leader of the team, and he will have the influence of the Northern Irishman on the European team. “He understands the importance of the Ryder Cup. He understands that he wants to prepare as much as he can like he would for a major to be ready for that Ryder Cup.”
