Keegan Bradley is the golfer on whom most eyes will be focused in the coming days. In front of him is an extremely difficult decision, which brings with it enormous pressure, stress, and ultimately insomnia.
The 39-year-old golfer will have to pick 6 golfers who will further strengthen the US team.
However, the public is wondering who these individuals will be.
Keegan already seems to have a clearer picture of who the captain's picks could be.
Several names are already being mentioned, but it is clear that several of them will also fall off the list.
Keegan Bradley has been heavily backed to be the player captain, but it still seems unclear whether he will actually play the dual role at the upcoming Ryder Cup.

The US captain is aware of the reactions of the public, the reactions of analysts, as well as experts who often have mixed emotions about his role.
However, he is also aware of his qualities, convinced that he can be an important part of the team, whether as captain or player-captain.
I don't think it counts because I think we have to get together as captain and vice-captains and look at the data, look at what's going on and make a decision based on what's best for the team, he said, as quoted by Golf Digest.
So that certainly feels nice to me. But when we look at me as a player, we talk about me as if I'm not in the driver. We look at the stats, we look at everything, and I'm Player X, basically. Certainly strange, but I've wanted them to, if there's negatives about me playing, I want to hear those things. I would be more upset if they didn't express those feelings.

What can we expect?
While some did not expect Keegan to be in circulation for a spot on the team, he stresses that he is one of the best golfers in the world, so it was to be expected that his double role would attract attention.
Additional significance was given by his great performances in recent weeks
This further aroused the reactions of the public who are wondering if Keegan will really pick himself as a player who will strengthen the team at the next Ryder Cup.
To be honest, I feel like I'm still one of the best players in the world, so I figured that the likelihood of me being completely out of the picture was probably kind of slim.
