Featured tee time for Round 1
When Keegan Bradley triumphed at the 2025 Travelers Championship in June, it seemed all but certain he would become a playing captain on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
His victory came on the heels of a string of solid finishes, making him a near-lock for the team. But as we head into the second round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs at the BMW Championship, Bradley’s Ryder Cup outlook has changed.
Since his win, Bradley’s game has started to wilt, resulting in poor results at four-straight events, including a T44 at last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Five players reflect on battling for FedExCup top 50
Hear from Rickie Fowler, Bud Cauley and the other Tour players who battled to make the top 50 as they reflect on their week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The top 50 advanced to the BMW Championship and secured starts in all 2026 Signature Events.
Now 14th in FedEx Cup standings, Bradley’s spot in the Tour Championship is likely safe, but he’ll need a huge week to reignite his chances of playing on the Ryder Cup team at Bethpage.
The good news is that Bradley is the defending champion this week, having won the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines in Colorado. He’ll try to capture another BMW win this week in Maryland.
Bradley will tee off for the opening round of the BMW on Thursday at 10:54 a.m. ET alongside Maverick McNealy.
You can watch Thursday’s first round of the 2025 BMW Championship from 2-6 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. You can also stream exclusive online coverage via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ beginning early Thursday morning.
