Asked if the U.S. team gathering ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup would be at Bethpage, captain Keegan Bradley didn’t share details.

To McIlroy’s credit, playing captains at the Ryder Cup are incredibly rare. Arnold Palmer was the last one back in 1963, and he led the United States team to a dominant 23-9 win over the Europeans.

Rory McIlroy has spent much of the last decade as the emotional leader and constant on Europe’s Ryder Cup teams, making his future as a captain an inevitability. He said on Wednesday, however, that it will not be until he’s done as a player.
