Keegan Bradley has given his Presidents Cup aspirations a massive boost as Jim Furyk gets ready to name his six captain’s picks.

The 38-year-old’s BMW Championship win saw him jump up to fourth in the FedEx Cup standings and earn a spot in this week’s Tour Championship at East Lake.

Bradley has remained coy about his Presidents Cup chances despite being one of the highest-ranked names outside the six players confirmed on the USA team.

Speaking before the start of the Tour Championship, however, Bradley admitted Furyk has a tough decision to make.

The 2011 PGA Championship winner revealed that he’s held talks with Furyk about players the 54-year-old could pick for next month’s event in Montreal.

“Yeah. I think we’ve had some quick discussions, but he’s largely left me to playing these last couple weeks,” Bradley explained.

The 2025 Ryder Cup captain went on to suggest he feels “terrible” for putting Furyk in a position where he must decide on his position in the Presidents Cup team.

Bradley added: “I think as it comes to this week, I think with the different format and stuff like that, I think it shouldn’t come down to one week that you decide whether a person is going to play a month later. But I really — there’s part of me that feels terrible I put him in this position. But I want to be as upfront with him and honest with him, and he’s been great.”

Keegan Bradley deserves to be in the Presidents Cup team

Bradley being named as one of Furyk’s picks has sparked much debate in recent days. Golf Channel pundit Ryan Lavner said Furyk should avoid Bradley, whereas Smylie Kaufman wants the Ryder Cup captain in the team.

It seems that the golfing world assumes Bradley has emerged from nowhere after his win at Castle Pines. The American was comfortably in the top 70 players before the St. Jude Championship before falling down the pecking order in Memphis.

Bradley’s year hasn’t been electric, but he still has three PGA Tour wins in the past three seasons and clearly an impressive match-play pedigree.

Considering he’s one of the highest-ranked players outside those who have already been selected, Furyk would be a brave man to exclude the American from next month’s event in Montreal.
