The 38-year-old goes into the final round in first place with a total score of -12, however, there’s still work to be done if he hopes to take home his first PGA Tour win in over a year. Adam Scott trails Bradley by a single stroke, while Ludvig Aberg and Alex Noren are also incredibly close in T3 at -10.
Bradley’s last Tour win came in the form of the Travelers Championship last June, pipping Zac Blair and Brian Harman to the post by a respectable three strokes. However, Bradley has proven he can thrive under pressure – beating Jason Dufner in a tense play-off to take home the 2011 PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club, his only major win to date.
As the final round of the BMW Championship gets underway at Castle Pines, Mirror Sport deep dives everything you need to know about Bradley, from his incredibly net worth and family life to his stance on Love Golf Woods and Rory McIlroy forced to fork out £39million to fix major hurdle
Keegan Bradley’s net worth
Thanks to a stellar golfing career and brand deals with the likes of Flag and Anthem and Srixon, Bradley’s net worth is estimated to sit at around £19.5million ($25m). While that may sound like a decent amount of money, in terms of golfing glory it is not that much – with the likes of Rory McIlroy having a reported net worth of around £132m and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler having a fortune of £70m.
For his Travelers win last year, Bradley is said to have pocketed £2.7million ($3.6m), while his 2011 PGA Championship win bolstered his net worth by £1million ($1.44m). Other big paydays for Bradley include his 2022 ZOZO Championship win (£1.49m/$1.98m), second place at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open (£717K/$948K) and T9 at the 2023 TOUR Championship (£749K/$990K).
The 2024 BMW Championship gives Bradley an opportunity to bolster his net worth further, with a total prize pot of £15.1million ($20m) to be split between contestants. The first place prize from that sum comes in at a hefty £2.7million ($3.6m), while second and third take home £1.6million and £1.02million respectively.
Wife of eight years
Bradley met Jillian Stacey in 2012, having both grown up in Vermont. The two became engaged in August 2015, with Stacey taking to Instagram to show off her ring in a photo writing: “He made me the happiest girl in the world over the weekend! Surrounded by our family and friends in Vermont… I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.”
The two wed in December the very next year in a luscious ceremony at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida with Mrs Bradley taking to social media shortly after to share snaps from the momentous occasion. Sharing a photo from her first dance with Bradley, she wrote: “Still coming down from the happiest weekend of my life! Thank you to all involved and present, we love you.”
The pair enjoyed a honeymoon in Italy after their winter wedding, sharing loved up snaps from Rome, Florence and Venice. Jillian and Bradley also have two sons together; oldest Logan James coming into the world on November 2017, while Cooper was born a few years later – his birthdate remains unknown as his parents largely shield him from the public eye.
It’s no secret that PGA Tour players and LIV Golf defectors don’t quite see eye-to-eye, with a number of stars like Tiger Woods and McIlroy slating the controversial Saudi-backed league. However, players from the two leagues often cross paths at the majors and sometimes have to put their differences aside to work together at the Ryder Cup.
As LIV isn’t sanctioned by the Official World Golf Ranking, players from the league don’t have a straightforward path to qualification as an automatic selection. This means that the majors provide players with their only opportunity to gain points for the coveted Team USA vs Team Europe tourney.
Team USA captain Bradley, however, is dead set that politics won’t influence his decision-making when it comes to pulling together a team for the 2025 tournament – but he has warned that LIV players like Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka will have to demonstrate worthiness if they are to be selected.
