Keegan Bradley has some really big decisions to make ahead of the Ryder Cup next month.

And Rocco Mediate has given Bradley some strong advice about what he should do at the Ryder Cup.

Cameron Young’s win on Sunday catapulted him into the Ryder Cup mix, and all of a sudden, the American team is starting to look really strong.

Bradley will still have to decide whether to pick himself for the showdown with Europe at Bethpage Black.

Bradley’s form has actually been poor since his win at the Travelers Championship, with no top-25 finishes to his name and one missed cut from three starts.

With so many top American players beginning to show some real form, Bradley’s place on the Ryder Cup team now seems doubtful.

However, it now seems like the 39-year-old from Vermont might actually not make the team in September.

Rocco Mediate has been speaking to his good friend and Rock and Roll star Alice Cooper about the upcoming Ryder Cup.

Mediate suggested that Bradley playing at Bethpage should be a no-brainer, when speaking on SIRIUSXM PGA Tour Radio.

He said: If I’m in the top six, or one of the assistant captains, I’m saying, ‘listen pal, there is really nobody playing better or as good as you right now, if you don’t play on this team with us, we’re not coming.

I would want him on the team. People are like, ‘no, he’s the captain’. I’m like, ‘really, is it that hard?’

Just play good guys and pair yourselves. I hope he makes it and the team insists that he plays, because that would be even more of an honour.

Bradley has unquestionably been one of the best American players this season, so he should be on the team at Bethpage.

However, much will depend on how he finishes off the season during the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Keegan Bradley’s 2025 PGA Tour stats

Bradley has produced really consistent golf this season.

Here are his stats from 2025 so far:

StatsBradley’s rank
Strokes gained off the tee31st
Strokes gained approach44th
Strokes gained around the green8th
Strokes gained putting102nd
Strokes gained total12th

If the eight-time PGA Tour winner manages to improve his putting, he would take his game to a whole new level entirely.

And if Bradley gets hot on the greens in one of the next three tournaments, he will almost certainly be on his own Ryder Cup team in September.
