With the 2014 Ryder Cup on the horizon at the end of September at Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland, Team USA captain Tom Watson has a major decision to make Tuesday night as he selects three names to round out the 12-man roster.

Nine players automatically qualified, and one Tiger Woods has already withdrawn his name, so Watson's job is not all that difficult given the players he has to choose from to complete his roster.

Let's take a look at the nine men who have already qualified and predict who Watson will add to finish things off based on form and fit with the rest of the team. Fans can watch Watson's announcement at 7 p.m. ET on NBC or stream it at RyderCup.com.

 

2014 U.S. Ryder Cup Roster Automatic Qualifiers



 

Keegan Bradley



The No. 23 player in the world seems a lock for Watson's squad at this point.

While Bradley has no wins this year, one second-place finish and six top-10 performances, a cut at the PGA Championship and an overall up-and-down season have some down on his prospects for the team.

It is easy to forget, though, that Bradley brings a 3-1-0 record to the table at the Ryder Cup and in 2012 went 3-0 in team matches with one Phil Mickelson.

Outside of stellar recent play (he finished tied for 16th at the Deutsche Bank Championship) and the fact he is a superb teammate, Bradley also has the desire to be named a member, which is always a plus when it comes to roster construction in any sport. 

“Every second,” said Bradley, per Julian Benbow of The Boston Globe. “When I’m sleeping, I’m dreaming about it. When I wake up, I’m thinking about it. When I’m on the course, I’m thinking about it.”

As far as locks go, Bradley may be the most obvious.
