Three-Time U.S. Ryder Cup Team Member is Captain Keegan Bradley’s first appointment

FRISCO, Texas (July 23, 2024) – United States Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley today named Webb Simpson as one of his Vice Captains for the 45th Ryder Cup, which will be played September 26-28, 2025, at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.

Simpson is the first Vice Captain to be appointed by Bradley, who was named Captain of the U.S. Team on July 8. Additional Vice Captains will be announced at a later date.

“Webb is someone who I have long admired and respected as a competitor and friend,” said Bradley. “He possesses a wealth of team golf experience and knows what it takes to win. Webb will be a valuable member of our leadership team and a trusted resource for me as we prepare for Bethpage Black next September.”

The 2025 Ryder Cup will mark Simpson’s first as a Vice Captain. The 38-year-old played in three Ryder Cups (2012, ‘14, ‘18), compiling a 4-4-1 career record, including 2-1-0 in four-ball.

“I am honored to be chosen by Keegan to serve as a Vice Captain in 2025,” said Simpson. “Competing in three Ryder Cups will forever be among my career highlights. I have no doubt that Keegan will be a fantastic captain and a tremendous leader, and could not be more excited to get to work as we seek to reclaim the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.”

The Charlotte, North Carolina, native is a seven-time winner on the PGA TOUR, including a victory at the 2012 U.S. Open. He was also a member of the victorious U.S. Teams in the 2011, ‘13 and ‘19 Presidents Cup.
