Keegan Bradley continues his season this week with The Memorial Tournament, which takes place at Muirfield Village.

Bradley will have the 2025 Ryder Cup on his mind, but he will be firmly focused on impressing in his 13th PGA Tour start of 2025.

The Ryder Cup captain finished T8 at the PGA Championship last time out, one of his three top 10 finishes this season.

Bradley has made 11 of 12 cuts so far, although his one missed cut was notable, coming at The Masters at Augusta National.

The Memorial arrives shortly before the US Open, with the Canadian Open also taking place before the next major championship.

Keegan Bradley may be looking at five-time PGA Tour winner for Ryder Cup

And Bradley may have offered a clue into his thinking for the Ryder Cup given his playing partner at Muirfield.

Bradley requested to play with Andrew Novak at the PGA Championship, with Maverick McNealy also in their grouping for days one and two at Quail Hollow.

The captain’s latest partner is Russell Henley, with that duo among the featured groups for Thursday and Friday this week.

Where is Russell Henley ranked in USA 2025 Ryder Cup qualification?

Jack Nicklaus thinks Bradley could be a playing captain at the upcoming Ryder Cup, which takes place at Bethpage Black in September.

The latter’s stance has yet to be confirmed, with Bradley seemingly doing the right thing at this moment in time by looking at other players rather than himself.

And Henley may just feature in New York later this year, having enjoyed himself on the PGA Tour in 2025 so far.

He is a five-time PGA Tour champion, clinching his first win since 2022 at this year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Henley did, however, miss the cut at both The Masters and the PGA Championship, which certainly casts a shadow on his otherwise impressive season.

They represent his only missed cuts from 11 starts in 2025, with his form sending him into sixth place in the USA Ryder Cup qualification standings.

Unsurprisingly, world number one Scottie Scheffler is leading the way for Bethpage Black, followed by Xander Schauffele.

But Henley is more than holding his own among the current American elite, which also includes the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas.
