“Yeah, I’ve told Tiger that I want him to be as involved as he wants to be,” he said. “We didn’t — with the British Open going on, we’re not really chatting too much about that. We both have a job to do, and I don’t want to bother Tiger with that. I think in the coming months — we’re still 14 months out here, so we’ve got a long time.”
The 38-year-old’s team is starting to come together, as he named Webb Simpson as his first vice captain on Tuesday.
Bradley’s made two previous starts at the 3M Open, finishing T-46 (2019) and T-39 (2021). Since a T-2 performance at the Charles Schwab Challenge, he’s failed to finish inside the top 30 over his last four starts, including a missed cut at the British Open.

He’ll get an up-close look at two rising U.S. stars at TPC Twin Cities, as he’s paired with Nick Dunlap and Sahith Theegala for the first two rounds. Theegala currently holds the No. 11 spot in the Ryder Cup point standings. Dunlap, on the other hand, just collected his first pro win and second win of the season at the Barracuda Championship (he won the American Express as an amateur).
Both players may end up with a chance of making Bradley’s squad.
