SPORTFIVE Athletes To Captain Team USA Across Golf’s Premier Events
New York, May 21, 2025 - SPORTFIVE, a global leader in sports marketing, proudly celebrates a landmark moment in golf and sports agency history with three of its clients, Angela Stanford, Keegan Bradley, and Brandt Snedeker, being named captains of Team USA for the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 Presidents Cup, and 2026 Solheim Cup, respectively.
A New Generation of Leadership
Keegan Bradley will captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 2025 at Bethpage Black, a return to his home region and a tournament where his passion has always been front and center. A seven-time PGA Tour winner and 2011 PGA Championship victor, Bradley brings fierce competitiveness and youthful energy to a role often reserved for older veterans. At just 38, he is one of the youngest Ryder Cup captains in modern history and remains a threat on the leaderboard, proving that leadership can come from those still in the peak of their playing careers.
Brandt Snedeker, announced as the 2026 Presidents Cup captain for the U.S. team, is a fan favorite known for his charisma, authenticity, and ability to galvanize a locker room. A nine-time PGA Tour champion and 2012 FedExCup winner, Snedeker has been a consistent force in international competition, including appearances in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup as a player. His deep experience, coupled with his ability to foster team spirit, makes him a natural choice to lead Team USA at Medinah Country Club.
Angela Stanford will lead the U.S. team at the 2026 Solheim Cup in Washington, D.C. With over two decades on the LPGA Tour, Stanford boasts seven LPGA titles, including a major win at the 2018 Evian Championship. A veteran of six Solheim Cups as a player and three as an assistant captain, she brings unmatched experience, resilience, and empathy to her leadership. Her legacy as a competitor and mentor underscores SPORTFIVE’s commitment to growing women’s golf and nurturing leadership across the board.
