XANDER SHAUFFEL told Golf Fans about what he wanted to see from Kigan Bradley, as he enjoyed the new captain of Ryder Cup.
The winner of the PGA championship Xander Shauffel explained how he was surprised at his appointment and already stated his opinion. Naturally, the question arises as to what Captain Bradley will receive. He will be the youngest captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
The 38-year-old Bradley could even make history by earning a spot in the team, but if he finishes outside the bracket, he already knows what he’ll do. Ahead of the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Schauffele was asked if he had any wishes for Bradley.
It is widely believed that Schauffele had an issue with bringing Netflix cameras into the U.S. team’s dressing room. The Times of London reported that Schauffele was threatened with being kicked off the team after a tough loss at the Ryder Cup last September.
He was reportedly trying to make changes to the player bonus contract he was due to sign before the Ryder Cup. Those changes included adding signs prohibiting Netflix cameras from accessing Team USA’s locker room for full-on filming.
Former captain Zach Johnson is believed to have voted to allow cameras inside. What about Schauffele’s future?
If he makes the team, will he want to face Patrick Cantlay in every session? Or is it the first release in the overdown game on Sunday?
\ “Kigan wants to practice when we need to practice, when we need to do it, and to escape everything we need Shaufele said when he was, and it would help us. “Let’s dress up and take a lot of photos. We have to go to two or three dinners which are kind of obligatory, but I think if we cut that down to one or two instead of three, that would be a really big thing.”
Naturally, X’s golf fans were quick to respond to the comment. Some say this attitude is a clear indication of why the U.S. is struggling to come together.
“He doesn’t seem to understand what the Ryder Cup is all about,” one X user wrote. \ “Maybe not even the right event for him, \” added another.
This person wrote: \ “If he hates going to team dinners, he should challenge himself by playing in the Ryder Cup! What a joke. \”
Xander Schauffele
You can understand why some people have this catch. But at the same time, Schauffele’s comments can be viewed in another way.
Each week on the PGA Tour, Schauffele’s routine is very specific: eat, sleep, practice, play. Violating this will undoubtedly affect performance.
But perhaps the general feeling is that this is just part of Ryder Cup week? That’s terrible, Alex.
It will be interesting to see how Bradley takes on the captaincy. During his first press conference, Bradley revealed that he hadn’t been interviewed for the role and had already decided to cast the best team.
“I don’t care about LIV,” he said, which will no doubt piss Bryson DeChambeau’s ears.
