Two weeks ago, 38-year-old Keegan Bradley was named the United States captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, scheduled for Sept. 26-28. On Tuesday, he made his first move towards putting together his team.
Bradley named Webb Simpson as a vice captain for the biennial bash, a choice that will bring plenty of experience to the U.S. locker room.
Simpson has represented Team USA six times, three of which were Ryder Cup appearances (2012, 2014 and 2018).
“Webb is someone who I have long admired and respected as a competitor and friend,” Bradley said in a statement. “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.”
After compiling a 4-4-1 record in his Ryder Cup playing career, this is Simpson’s first time being appointed as a vice captain.
“I am honored to be chosen by Keegan to serve as a Vice Captain in 2025,” Simpson said. “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.”
