One of the major subplots of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which start this week in Memphis at the St. Jude Championship, is the final push for Ryder Cup selections. In particular, Keegan Bradley's challenge of making captain's picks for the United States squad has gotten even tougher over the past month.

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley told Sports Illustrated on Wednesday that many of the players who make the American team plan to tee up at a Fall Series event in preparation for the late-September showdown against Team Europe at Bethpage Black.

Keegan Bradley told SI that a fall event will help in preparation for the Ryder Cup, two years after second-guessing around the Americans' readiness for Rome.
