Team USA Captain Keegan Bradley is now as short as 4/5 to feature as a player for the United States at next month’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Sam Burns is fancied at 1/2 to play in back-to-back Ryder Cups, while Cameron Young is priced 4/7 to make the team after securing his first PGA Tour win at the Wyndham Championship.
2023 Open Champion Brian Harman is next in the market at 4/1, followed by Maverick McNealy (5/1), Kurt Kitayama (6/1) and Chris Gotterup (6/1). Jordan Spieth’s streak of playing in five consecutive Ryder Cups could come to an end this year; he’s 7/1 to make the team.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “With the Tour Championship set to wrap up the FedEx Cup playoffs, focus has started to shift onto Ryder Cup team announcements, and few storylines are competing with the possibility of Keegan Bradley (4/5) naming himself as a playing captain, which would be a first since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
“Sam Burns is 1/2 to make back-to-back Ryder Cup appearances, and Cameron Young’s breakthrough victory at the Wyndham Championship has come at just the right time – he’s also odds-on at 4/7. Further down the market, the likes of Brian Harman (4/1) and Chris Gotterup (6/1) will be hoping a strong finish this week can edge them over the line.
“On the European side, Rasmus Højgaard continues to look a strong option, priced 4/9. Captain Luke Donald is facing some tough decisions, as Aaron Rai (4/1) and Nicolai Højgaard (5/1) have proven they can compete at the highest level throughout the season.”
