Although the public expects that Keegan Bradley will not be the captain of the American team in two years at the Ryder Cup in Ireland, the experienced golfer still has hope that the PGA of America officials will give him another chance.
This year, most were hoping that Tiger Woods could take over the captaincy role, but there were a few other names that were mentioned as potential candidates for the captaincy role.
Nevertheless, the leaders of the PGA of America surprised the public by giving a chance to Keegan Bradley, a golfer who has serious experience, but not such great success as Tiger Woods or some other names.
Public skepticism was immediate, and ultimately their predictions proved correct after the US team lost at this year's Ryder Cup on Bethpage Black.

Keegan Bradley had dilemmas whether he would be a captain-player or just a captain, and in the end he made the decision to be only a captain, wanting to dedicate himself to that role as much as possible.
At the end of the last tournament, Keegan Bradley once again stuck to his decision, believing that he made the right decision.
"I'm a player and when I decided not to play, that was for what I thought was for the betterment
of the team," Bradley said.
"When I got there that week, early in the week, I was thinking how badly I wanted to play.
"But then as the week went on, I realised how [im]possible that would've been just with the long hours and the stress and the moving around.
"And so for me, I have to revert back, switch back to thinking of myself as a player. I would love to play in another Ryder Cup. I'll be 41 on the next one, so who knows?

"But I'll give it certainly my hardest and I hope to be a part of many Ryder Cups to come."
Keegan's future
It is difficult to give the right answer as to whether he will really be trusted in the next edition. However, Keegan does not appear to have much of a chance of captaining again, with the public hoping that Tiger Woods could take over his role.
On the other hand, Bradley could play in the Ryder Cup as a player, and that would certainly be a huge deal for him.
