Keegan Bradley Selects Kevin Kisner as Third U.S. Ryder Cup Vice Captain for 2025
Kevin Kisner has been named as the third vice captain for the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team by captain Keegan Bradley. Kisner joins Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker in the leadership group that will guide the U.S. team at Bethpage Black this September.
While Kisner has never competed in a Ryder Cup, he brings valuable match-play experience with a 2-2-3 record in the Presidents Cup (2017, 2022) and impressive individual match-play credentials, including winning the 2019 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and finishing runner-up in 2018 and 2022.
Bradley praised Kisner's appointment, citing his match-play success and strong relationships as key attributes. Kisner recently served as captain's assistant to Jim Furyk at the 2023 Presidents Cup, where the U.S. team secured an 18.5-11.5 victory over the Internationals.
Kisner, who was recently named NBC's new lead analyst alongside Dan Hicks, expressed his enthusiasm: "I love match play and the Ryder Cup is one of the greatest events in sports. I cannot wait to be a part of it and look forward to doing everything I can to support Keegan, Webb, Brandt and our talented team in September."
The 2025 Ryder Cup will begin on September 26 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. Due to Kisner's vice-captaincy responsibilities, NBC will need to find a replacement analyst for the tournament's broadcast coverage.
