Keegan Bradley is an American who has come back to form in recent years, having won a major championship in his first year on the PGA Tour.
Bradley was born in Vermont in the United States in 1986, and was an all-state ski-racer growing up. He chose golf as a teenager, and went to St John’s University where he was successful throughout his collegiate career. He graduated in 2008, and spent time on the NGA Hooters Tour (winning twice) and the Nationwide Tour, before moving up to the PGA Tour in 2011.
He would go on to win the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year award that season, thanks to a maiden win on the tour, at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, and victory in his maiden major appearance – coming in a playoff at the PGA Championship. Bradley also has a World Golf Championships victory and a pair of FedEx Cup Playoffs wins to his name. He has eight PGA Tour wins, and 13 in total, during his career.
He played for the United States in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup in three consecutive years. He featured against Europe in both 2012 and 2014, and took on the International Team in 2013 at the Presidents Cup. It was announced in July 2024 that he would become the American captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
