In 2025 Keegan Bradley won on the PGA Tour and managed a further five top-10 finishes before captaining USA Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black.
Bradley's victory came at the Travelers Championship in June, where he pipped Tommy Fleetwood to the title in thrilling finish with birdie on 18.
Almost a year earlier, after announcing his Ryder Cup captaincy, he won at the BMWE Championship, becoming the first captain to win a PGA Tour event since Davis Love in 2015.
His USA team were unable to manage similar outcome in New York, falling to a 15-13 defeat to Europe despite a stirring comeback in the Sunday singles in which they won six of the first nine matches out.
In 2011 - eight years after Ben Curtis became the first player since Francis Ouimet in 1913 to win in his first major - Keegan Bradley pulled off the same astonishing feat at the PGA Championship.
Five behind with three holes to play, the nephew of Pat Bradley - winner of six women's majors - stormed back to beat Jason Dufner in a play-off. It made him the first player to win a major with a long putter and led to a Ryder Cup debut where he won three times with Phil Mickelson.
They resumed that partnership in 2014 after a season in which he tied for fourth in both the US Open and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, an event he won in 2012 with a closing 64.
In 2018 he ended more than six years without a victory by winning the BMW Championship, but then went another four years before adding the 2022 Zozo Championship.
