The Truist Championship in Flourtown, Pennsylvania, is a prestigious event with a $20 million purse and serves as a key tournament for many top golfers preparing for the PGA Championship. During this year’s tournament, U.S. team captain Keegan Bradley organized a dinner gathering with potential Ryder Cup players, including members of LIV Golf like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
Bradley expressed the importance of bringing everyone together for discussions and bonding. As a fan favorite and a respected figure in the golfing community, Bradley has been enjoying the support and recognition from fans following his previous Ryder Cup experiences and his performances on the course.
When asked about potentially naming himself as a playing captain for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in September, Bradley remained humble and focused on improving his game. The top six players in the U.S. Ryder Cup qualification standings leading up to the Truist Championship were Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, DeChambeau, Russell Henley, and Justin Thomas, with six additional players to be selected as captain’s picks.
Despite facing challenges like Billy Horschel’s recent hip surgery affecting his chances of making the team, the U.S. Ryder Cup preparations are in full swing. The PGA of America has even announced plans to distribute 3,000 free Ryder Cup tickets to golf fans in the New York metro area, creating excitement and anticipation for the upcoming event at Bethpage Black.
