Bradley and Steele won by three strokes last year and will be paired together again in 2012.
Davis Love III, Mark Calcavecchia, Bud Cauley, Carl Pettersson, Rory Sabbatini and Charles Howelll III were the final six entries in the tournament, completing the 24-player roster that will be split into 12 teams.
Love is making his sixth appearance in the tournament, winning it in 1992 with Tom Kite. Calcavecchia has twice won the shootout — once in 1995 with Steve Elkington, and again in 2007 with partner Woody Austin.
The Franklin Templeton Shootout is a modified alternate-shot format in the first round, a better-ball Saturday and a final-round scramble. Coverage begins on the Golf Channel at 3:00 p.m. ET on Friday, and on NBC at 4:00 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday.
