Thomas noted that Bradley has been transparent throughout the selection process and was 'brutally honest' about providing feedback.

Team USA captain Keegan Bradley arguably made the toughest decision of his career by leaving himself off the 2025 Ryder Cup team.

His composure and reasoning as to why in Wednesday's press conference gives the true feeling of a captain's leadership that places his team above himself.

Keegan said he decided 'awhile ago' that he was not going to pick himself.

He remarked earlier in the year that it may have been a possibility, but all six of Wednesday's captain's picks have stepped up greatly in recent months and he couldn't leave any off the team.

Arnold Palmer's 1963 record of being the last team USA captain to pick himself will remain in tact.
