Keegan Bradley, the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, is 50th in points and will need to work the hardest to get to East Lake and the Tour Championship. The bubble 30th spot is held down by Denny McCarthy, who finished ninth Sunday at TPC Southwind. He’s 178 points ahead of Tommy Fleetwood, who is 31st in points.
