Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa among 6 Ryder Cup captain's picks

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley will not compete in the event next month, failing to include himself in the six captain's picks.

Instead, he announced Wednesday that Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns will join the six automatic qualifiers to represent the United States at the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York next month.

"The decision was made a while ago that I wasn't playing," said Bradley, who finished No. 11 on the list of qualifiers. "The last 48 hours the team was set."

He said the way the players he chose finished up the 2025 season made the decision easy for him.

"All these guys stepped up in a major way and played their way onto this team," he said. "... I know 100 percent for certain this is the right choice."

The six qualifiers are World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau.
