Woods was considered the leading candidate for
the post, but the Telegraph reported Monday that he has
declined.
Woods was looking for a reduced role to the captaincy but he and
the PGA of America could not reach an agreement on what that
would entail, according to the report.
Sports Illustrated reported that Keegan Bradley will be named
the captain. The 38-year-old participated in the Ryder Cup in
2012 and 2014.
Other potential choices include previous captains Zach Johnson
(2023), Steve Stricker (2021), Jim Furyk (2018) and Davis Love
III (2016) as well as Fred Couples, Stewart Cink, Matt Kuchar,
Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson.
PGA of America president John Lindert will make the announcement
at the NASDAQ building. It will be broadcast on Golf Channel and
SiriusXM and livestreamed on the PGA's Facebook and X (Twitter)
accounts.
The biennial competition will take place from Sept. 26-28, 2025,
at Bethpage Black on Long Island, N.Y.
Luke Donald returns as the European captain after leading his
team to victory in Rome in 2023.
