We all know that the US team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance in the previous Ryder Cup, and Bradley’s captaincy has been under intense scrutiny. As he begins to assemble his team, all eyes are on his selection process. Reed praised Bradley’s willingness to select players from both the PGA Tour and LIV, saying it shows the captain is committed to putting together the best team possible. “It shows a lot about Keegan… going out and wanting to pick the best team rather than just picking your buddies,” Reed said per Mirror.

This approach is a departure from the previous Ryder Cup, where tensions between the PGA Tour and LIV were running high. The rift between the two tours had a significant impact on the US team’s dynamics, and it will be interesting to see how Bradley’s more inclusive approach affects the team’s performance. Reed’s enthusiasm for Bradley’s captaincy is clear, and he’s hopeful that it will make a difference in the US team’s performance. “Hopefully we can get that cup back,” Reed said. “Even though I was not on the team, you still feel it.”
