Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley left stunned after 'mentalist' Ryder Cup stunt

Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley had their minds blown by magician Oz Pearlman during their latest Ryder Cup press conference.

European Ryder Cup Donald and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Bradley travelled to New York for a Year To Go Ryder Cup press conference.

Outside of speaking to the media, Donald and Bradley were joined by Pearlman, an Emmy award winning mentalist and America's Got Talent finalist.

Pearlman then performed a short one-minute trick on Donald and Bradley.

And he left them - and golf fans on social media - in a state of shock. 

Pearlman got Bradley to slowly cup his hands before asking Donald to in his mind travel to one of his favourite golf courses in the world.

'Can you see you there now?' Pearlman said to Donald.

The Englishman replied 'Yes'. 

Pearlman asked Bradley to picture the weight of a golf ball inside his hands.

He then asked Donald to name the golf course he had been thinking about. 

'Pebble Beach,' replied Donald. 

Pearlman then got Bradley to uncup his hands to see what was inside.

A number of big talking points were raised during Donald and Bradley's latest Ryder Cup press conference in New York this week.

One of the hottest topics of discussion surrounded Donald revealing LIV Golf's Sergio Garcia was now in consideration to return to the DP World Tour in a bid to keep his Ryder Cup hopes alive. 

Garcia tore up his DP World Tour card last season having spent the majority of his pro career on the European Tour circuit. 

But the Spaniard is now contemplating a return.

Should Garcia wish to return then he will need to fulfil his outstanding sanctions before being let back by the DP World Tour.

Garcia will need to play in at least four regular DP World Tour events outside of the majors in 2025 if he wants to be eligible for Donald's 2025 European Ryder Cup team. 

GolfMagic Editor Andy Roberts will be speaking exclusively to Garcia later today, so stay tuned for his latest thoughts on the Ryder Cup. 

We asked our X / Twitter followers if they think Garcia will make Donald's 2025 team.

Here was the verdict: 

Donald ducked a Jon Rahm question though. 

Elsewhere in the press conference, Donald spoke about Rory McIlroy's 'rude awakening' from having first described the Ryder Cup as an 'exhibition' prior to his debut at Celtic Manor in 2010.

Bradley claimed LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson will unlikely have any say on his 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team.

He then stressed it's too soon for him start talking about whether he will be a playing captain at Bethpage Black.

Bradley also addressed one of Xander Schauffele's biggest grumbles about Ryder Cup week.

The 2025 Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September. 

Europe are the defending champions after Donald's 2023 team secured a memorable 16.5-11.5 victory over Zach Johnson's U.S. side in Rome last September.
