PGA Tour golfer predicts Keegan Bradley's Ryder Cup captain's picks

PGA Tour golfer Michael Kim has predicted Keegan Bradley's wildcards for the forthcoming Ryder Cup. 

Bradley will name his six captain's picks tomorrow at 4pm BST.

The 39-year-old is still weighing up whether to select himself and become the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.

Bradley ended the season with a top 10 finish at the Tour Championship and admitted despite the result it didn't make his decision any easier. 

He did warn, however, that several players who think they are on the team will receive bad news. 

"The phone calls are going to suck," he said. 

The aforementioned Kim told his 190,000 followers on X that he has 'zero insight' on who will make the 12-strong team that will head to Bethpage Black next month. 

But he believes Bradley will select himself and Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Sam Burns, Ben Griffin and Patrick Cantlay. 

In that scenario, the in-form Cameron Young - who finally won on the PGA Tour at the Wyndham Championship - would be left at home. 

Who else will feature in Team USA?

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler was the first player to qualify for the red, white and blue. 

The 29-year-old was later joined by Xander Schauffele and reigning U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun. 

Russell Henley and Harris English also cemented their places following the conclusion of the BMW Championship. 

Whilst LIV Golf recruit Bryson DeChambeau held on to the sixth and final spot. 

Which players will likely miss out?

It seems more than likely at this point that Jordan Spieth won't be making his sixth Ryder Cup appearance. 

Spieth's season was delayed owing to surgery on his wrist. 

He told reporters before the playoffs began that it was a long-shot to be involved anyway, intimating he was relying on reputation alone to make it to Bethpage. 

Brooks Koepka has featured in every Ryder Cup since 2016, amassing an overall record of 7-6-2. He's also undefeated in the singles. 

But the five-time major winner has been below par in the major championships this year, missing cuts at The Masters, PGA Championship and The Open. He shared 12th place at the U.S. Open. 

Wyndham Clark went into the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy off the back of his first major win at Oakmont, but has struggled to maintain the form that saw him challenging Scheffler at the top of the leaderboards on the PGA Tour most weeks. 

Max Homa was arguably Team USA's standout performer at Marco Simone, but his game has completely deserted him this season. 

Maverick McNealy, Chris Gotterup, Andrew Novak and Brian Harman are also considered on the bubble. 

How is Team Europe shaping up?

Bradley's counterpart, Luke Donald, will name his six wildcards on 1 September. 

Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Robert MacIntyre and Rasmus Hojgaard qualified automatically. 

Donald is expected to name Shane Lowry, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka and Matthew Fitzpatrick as his six picks. 

The Omega European Masters in Switzerland represents the final chance for golfers to impress Donald.
