‘You Can’t Do It’: Tom Watson warns Keegan Bradley from Big Ryder Cup error

Only hours away from the announcement of Keegan Bradley of the picks of his US Ryder Cup captain, former Captain and Golf Legend Tom Watson has a big warning for the American leader from 2025.

In one interview with TimeWatson, a double American Ryder Cup captain, strongly advised Bradley to choose himself as a captain on Wednesday and said, “You can’t do it.”

Watson’s controversial US Ryder Cup Captain History

Watson is not only one of the greatest American golfers ever, if he is one of the greatest golfers of history. Point.

Watson won eight major championships during his career, including five open championship profits that he made almost six as a 59-year-old on the Open 2009.

But he also has a wealth of experience playing and supplementing our Ryder Cup teams. In 1993 at the age of 44, Watson was the American team for a 15-13 victory over Europeans in the Belfry in England.

His Captainincy from 1993 was no surprise, but his second stint at the helm was a real shock. Watson was returned at the age of 65 as an American captain for the Ryder Cup 2014 and became the oldest captain in history.

But the 2014 event turned into a disaster. Europe beat the American team handy 16.5-11.5. Watson was heavily criticized for his mistakes as a captain that year, also by team member Phil Mickelson during the press conference after the tournament.

It was that captain controversy who inspired the American side to revise their system Ryder Cup -Capitans Choose.

What Watson thinks about Bradley’s Ryder Cup decision

In another turn, the 2014 event was the only Ryder Cup event in which Bradley participated as a player, who went 1-2-0.

And based on Watson’s comments this week TimeHe believes that 2014 should remain the only Ryder Cup in which Bradley played.

In the interview, Watson argued that a play captain was essentially impossible, using his experience in the Ryder Cup 1993 as an example.

“I could not have been a player captain and the reason is very easy to plan,” said Watson Time“Because the captain must have his couples for the afternoon matches at 11 am”

He continued: “The last two morning games are certainly going on and you want the latitude to say that this player is not playing well. In 1993, for example, Paul Azinger was blown up in his first game and I thought:” I sit down and earn him back “. I had to make that decision, and if I was in a match, what a huge distractor.”

If his point was not clear enough, Watson tied it at the end and said: ‘You can’t do it. You can’t be both [captain and player]. “

Watson’s is simply the last warning that Bradley has taken about his monumental decision in the past year. It was clear to everyone from the moment Bradley was announced as captain from 2025 that this dilemma could perform.

And Bradley is well aware of the controversy that will break out, regardless of which path he chooses, as he explained at last week’s Tour Championship.

“You worry that people may say by my side, if you don’t win, that was a mistake. That was complacent. I am very aware of that. Whatever decision I make, I will be determined by this decision,” Bradley told East Lake. “If we win, it doesn’t matter what decision I make. But every captain has to make really difficult decisions. This is just a really unique decision. I think it is only because of my age. If Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson or Jim Fury was appointed captain at my age, they should just do this.”

But the only person whose opinion now matters is Captain Bradley. The American captain of 2025 will reveal his choices on Wednesday at 11 am et.
