U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has announced that Webb Simpson will serve as his first vice captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup, as confirmed by the PGA on Tuesday.
Simpson, who won the U.S. Open in 2012 and has secured seven PGA Tour victories, will join the leadership team for the event. The 38-year-old golfer from North Carolina has participated in three Ryder Cups (2012, 2014, and 2018) and has also competed in the Presidents Cup on three occasions.
Bradley commented, “Webb is someone who I have long admired and respected as a competitor and friend. He possesses a wealth of team golf experience and knows what it takes to win. Webb will be a valuable member of our leadership team and a trusted resource for me as we prepare for Bethpage Black next September.”
The 2025 Ryder Cup is scheduled to take place from September 26-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. Europe has won 10 of the last 14 Ryder Cup matches.
Simpson expressed his honor at being selected, stating, “I am honored to be chosen by Keegan to serve as a vice captain in 2025. Competing in three Ryder Cups will forever be among my career highlights. I have no doubt that Keegan will be a fantastic captain and a tremendous leader, and could not be more excited to get to work as we seek to reclaim the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.”
