2026 Fantasy Outlook

When Bradley accepted the offer to become the 2025 Ryder Cup Captain for the U.S. Team, nobody would have thought that he would have put together the season that he did. It was quite honestly one of the best of his career, and had many believe that he should be on the Ryder Cup team himself as a player. Bradley won for the eighth time at the PGA Tour at the Travelers Championship, which was one of 11 top-20s on the campaign. He ranked top 10 on Tour in SG: Tee-to-Green, proving that even at age 39 the ball striking is as good as it has ever been. The only real negative about Bradley's game was the fact that he ranked outside the top 100 for the second straight season in SG: Putting. Nevertheless, 2026 will be an interesting year for Bradley now that he doesn't have the Ryder Cup hanging over his head. He still has the game to be considered amongst some of the better players on the PGA Tour. Read Past Outlooks

Poor play continues in Tampa

March 23, 2026

Bradley finished with an even par 71 in the final round of the Valspar Championship to finish in a tie for 55th place.

ANALYSIS
In Bradley's sixth tournament of the year, he again struggled to gain any momentum at the Valspar Championship. He began his week posting a two-over par 73 in the opening round, which saw him lose more than a shot on the field in SG: Approach ranking 102nd in round one. Bradley was able to bounce back in his second round as he posted a two-under 69 to get himself back to even par for the tournament. Still Bradley found himself well off the lead. On the weekend, Bradley wasn't able to build momentum off of his round two score as he posted 72-71. This finish for Bradley now makes it two straight tournaments where Bradley has failed to crack the top-50. Bradley now has two missed cuts and three finishes outside the top-40 with his best finish this year being a T29 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Bradley is a pretty easy choice for a significant decline in earnings in 2025. He ranked 67th in SG: Total and had only three top-10 finishes in 2024. Those just happened to be a win at the BMW Championship and a pair of runner-up finishes at the Sony Open in Hawaii and Charles Schwab Challenge. It's hard to bet on those big finishes coming again in 2025, especially when his SG: Putting dropped from 20th in 2023 to 125th this past season. It also should be said that Bradley will have a lot on his plate in 2025 being the Ryder Cup Captain for the United States team, which could pretty easily take focus away from his own game. The good news is that he's into all the Signature Events next season, which gives him somewhat of a higher floor as far as earnings go. The ball-striking is still solid enough to contend at least a few times.

Not only did Bradley have his first winning season since 2017-18, he picked up a pair of victories at the ZOZO Championship and Travelers Championship, which was a designated event. Those two wins along with a runner-up at Torrey Pines were his only finishes better than a T9, however. Bradley struggled for years on the greens since the achored putter ban, but turned in his best putting season in 2022-23 ranking 20th in SG: Putting. He struggled around the greens, but the driving and iron play is still good enough to make him a contender to return to East Lake. It would be unlikely for him to rank inside the Top 10 in earnings again, however.

The way Bradley started his PGA Tour career, he had "superstar" written all over him. In his first three seasons, he racked up three wins and over $11 million in earnings, but after a solid 4th season, his game began to slide. He found his way back a couple years later with a career best $4 million in earnings, but the seasons that followed weren't great. He's now posted a couple more solid seasons since then and we are starting to see him for what he is -- a really good, but not great player on the PGA Tour. He set the bar pretty high this past season and considering he's only been above the $4 million mark once in his career, he doesn't make for a great salary cap pick this season.

Bradley is an odd case in that he appeared to be on his way to greatness early in his career, but he's never quite panned out. That's not to say he's been a disappointment, he did earn a career-high $4 million in 2018, but the consistency has been lacking. There's no question that Bradley has a high upside, but he has trouble grouping strong finishes. He sprouts up every so often, but his trajectory to elite status seems to have passed him by. With that in mind and with his number from 2020-21 being rather high, Bradley does not make for a good salary cap option this season.

Some other players have been able to adjust from the anchoring ban, but Bradley still is not one of them. He was once again around 200th in SG: Putting this past season. Bradley's ball striking was solid, but not as good as prior years, which is the main reason he didn't finish better than T32 after the restart. 2020-21 is anyone's best guess for the 34-year-old.

Bradley's had two distinct careers on the PGA Tour. The first, which occurred during his first four seasons on the PGA Tour, resulted in trips to the TOUR Championship each year. The three seasons that followed resulted in zero trips to the TOUR Championship. A win late in the 2017-2018 season looked to be the spark needed to regain his old form, but the momentum from that win did not carry over to this past season. Bradley played well last season, but outside of a random win here or there, he might just be a guy who'll end up outside the top-30 each season.

It was a long time between victories on the PGA Tour for Bradley, but when he topped Justin Rose at the BMW Championship, he ended a five-year drought. Bradley started his PGA Tour fast, picking up three wins in his first two seasons, including a major, but his decline was nearly as fast as his ascent. Bradley bottomed-out three seasons ago when he failed to crack the $1 million mark, but he showed some progress the following season and he made it all the way back last season. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here as he was pretty much an after through for much of the past few years. Odds are he'll fall back a little this season as he set the bar pretty high last season.

Bradley finally put an end to a four-year slide in earnings last season by more than doubling his salary from the previous season. While that's great news for Bradley, he failed to capture a top-three finish for the third consecutive season. He also set the bar pretty high for a guy that hasn't topped $2 million in earnings since 2014. As such, he's not a great option in salary cap leagues this season.

Not too long ago, Bradley was the next big thing, but fast forward a few years since his lone major and Bradley appears to be spinning his wheel. It all makes for a tough decision on Bradley this year as the potential is there, he's made more in one event than he did all of last year and as already mentioned, he's a major champion, but where is that guy? While it's not likely to see the major-winning Bradley again this year, he's not likely to completely fall off the map either, so he offers a somewhat-high upside, with little risk. In draft leagues, he's bound to go before he should, but he should be a eighth- or ninth-round selection.

One of the more maddening players on the PGA Tour, Bradley seems to have all the skills to be a top-10 players, but for some reason, he can't seem to put it all together. He has a major title under his belt, so the talent and the mental game is there, but to reach his full potential, he'll need to show more consistency. Luckily, his price is in that range where you can take a chance on him with not much risk involved. In draft leagues he's probably a third-round selection at this point.

After an impressive 2012 campaign, Bradley was expected by many to take his game to the next level in 2013. While that didn't happen exactly, he played well enough to give us hope that he's still that guy with all that potential. In that sense, Bradley enters 2014 with a little something to prove. While other players of his caliber, Scott and Rose, were winning majors, Bradley was struggling. Expect Bradley to up his game in 2014 and again become a factor a one or two majors. Bradley should be slotted somewhere around the 10th pick in draft and he provides some value as a salary cap selection as well.

Bradley was a prime candidate to go through a post-major slump in 2012, but he wanted nothing to do with that. Bradley is always mentally there, if you will, so don't expect a long slump anytime soon. With one major under his belt and three career wins, it looks like this is just the beginning for Bradley. A look at his earnings from year one to year two, however, is a little concerning. Bradley earned just less than $3.8 million in 2012 and only beat that mark by roughly $150K last year. Sure, he did so without the benefit of a major win, but it just goes to show how difficult it is to make a big move from year to year when you start at such a high salary. Bradley is not an outrageous pick at his price, but he's certainly a risky one. He'll pick up a win or two this year, but to top his earnings from 2012, he'll have to get those wins in the right spots. He is a late first, early second-round pick in draft leagues.

The surprise of the 2011 season, Keegan Bradley came out of nowhere to capture two wins during his rookie season, including the PGA Championship in August. Considering that Bradley didn't come into the 2011 season with lofty expectations, you have to wonder if the season was a fluke. That's not to say that he can't continue at this level, it's just that when players outperform expectations by as much as Bradley did last year, you have to take a step back and consider all the possibilities.

Bradley finished inside the top-25 on the Nationwide Tour last season in what was his rookie season on that tour. It's unlikely, though, that he can pull another rabbit out of his hat this season on the PGA TOUR. A case of too much too soon.
