Keegan Bradley names Brandt Snedeker second US vice captain for Ryder Cup

Snedeker, a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour who was named the US-based circuit's rookie of the year in 2007, joins previously appointed former US Open champion Webb Simpson as a vice-captain on Bradley's staff.

"As I've started preparing for the 2025 Ryder Cup, I quickly realized that Brandt was someone I wanted by my side," Bradley, who was announced as captain in July, said in a news release.

"Having competed in two Ryder Cups, including a stellar individual performance in 2016, Brandt's experience and insight will surely be beneficial to our team in the months ahead."

The 2025 Ryder Cup will be Snedeker's first stint as a vice-captain in the biennial team event.

The Nashville, Tennessee native has played in two Ryder Cups, compiling a 4-2-0 career record, including 3-0-0 as the only undefeated American in 2016.

"The Ryder Cup is unlike anything in our sport and I hope to bring the passion and pride to help Keegan deliver his vision of what a Ryder Cup in New York should look like," said Snedeker.

"I am so excited to serve alongside my good friend Webb and know we will do everything in our power to help Keegan and the players be ready for a great competition next September at Bethpage Black."

Additional vice-captains will be announced at a later date.
