The Quiet Please Golf Podcast is proud to announce Episode #108, featuring special guest Mark Bradley, PGA, a 26-year PGA Member currently serving at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club in Jackson, Wyoming, and father of 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley.
The episode, titled “Ryder Cup Talk, Insider Stories, and Orlando Preview with Mark Bradley, PGA,” offers listeners an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of golf’s most accomplished families and the preparation surrounding the upcoming Ryder Cup matches.
A Legacy of Excellence
The Bradley family represents one of golf’s most remarkable legacies. Mark’s sister, Pat Bradley, is an LPGA Tour legend inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1991 after winning 31 tour events, including six major championships. Mark himself has been a respected PGA Professional since 1997. His son, Keegan Bradley, burst onto the scene as a PGA Tour rookie in 2011 by winning the PGA Championship in his major championship debut—joining a very short list of players to accomplish that feat.
“When Keegan was born, I coached skiing and was a Club Professional,” Mark has shared. “We skied in the winter — Keegan was an excellent skier — and we played golf in the summer. Keegan came to work with me every day at the golf course for years. He practiced and played, and played, and played some more.”
