Team USA Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley has won the BMW Championship and $3.6 million. Those who were picked ahead of him to play in the 2023 Ryder Cup, like Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay, didn’t finish in the top 10. Heck, Jordan Spieth couldn’t even play at Castle Pines. It seems the ‘boys club’ isn’t quite in form.

It’s well documented that Zack Johnson picked several golfers ahead of Keegan Bradley to be on the Ryder Cup team. An emotional scene in the Netflix show Full Swing involving Bradley being told he was not on the team tugged at golfing fans’ heartstrings, and the criticism of how Team USA handled things in 2023 only increased.

Justin Thomas seems to have taken Bradley’s spot, but he is just one player. Zach Johnson had other spots to fill, and he gave these spots to Rickie Fowler and Sam Burns. The other spots seemed to be locked for certain players, according to Thomas. As for Thomas, he endorsed Keegan Bradley for Captaining Team USA, and the two of them have denied any rumors of a feud.

Kyle Porter, CBS’ golf writer, posted a tweet comparing the number of PGA Tour wins in the last two years by Keegan Bradley and the so-called boys’ club. He said that Bradley has won 3 while Ryder Cup players Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, and Collin Morikawa have a combined 2.
