United States captain Jim Furyk has named Ryder Cup skipper Keegan Bradley as his fourth assistant for this year's Presidents Cup.
Bradley will join fellow assistants Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard and Kevin Kisner for the biennial contest against the International Team at The Royal Montreal Golf Club from September 26-29.
"Keegan is a tremendous competitor with a bulldog mentality and we are looking forward to having his voice in the team room in Montreal," Furyk said.
"He has a strong passion for match play competition and I know he will be an asset to our players in 2024, as well as 2025, as he leads them into Bethpage Black for the 2025 Ryder Cup."
Bradley, who was a surprise choice to lead the home side at Bethpage after 15-time major winner Tiger Woods turned down the role, said: "I was ecstatic to get the call from Jim and am looking forward to doing all I can to help our team in Montreal.
"With the Ryder Cup on the horizon next year, this will be a great experience for me to understand the other side of the team room and how that camaraderie and coaching helps our guys play their best."
The International Team has won just once in Presidents Cup history, with the United States claiming 12 victories and the 2003 edition ending in a tie.
