Who do you like to captain Team USA at 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor?
Zero shot Tiger will want the gig.
My guess is that it will be Steve Stricker, the captain who led the US at Whistling Straits.
Fred Couples is another option.

Keegan or Couples.

Chamblee threw out Justin Leonard as a possible candidate.
Not a name I ever considered.
One other thing...8-1/2 to 3-12 on Sunday showed that the U.S. team, including Keegan,
did not roll over after Friday and Saturday's losses. They have the talent to win...just learn to embrace Foursomes and Four Ball.
FYI: Future Ryder Cup venues:
Keegan.
Honestly, he's the right guy for the job. He's got the passion for it and he'll have learned a lot this year. Other than JT and Bryson, who on the American side was going to inspire the team to victory? Cantlay doesn't even want to be there unless he's getting paid. Real team player. The rest of the personalities are wet noodles. Uninspiring.
Counter that with the European side. Not getting paid. Playing because they love their teammates. Rory, Tyrell, Lowry, Rahm and Rose. All fiery, all passion.
So for me, it's got to be Keegan. I don't see any other American golf personality capable of bringing a disparate group of individuals together.
Fair points.
Curious whether the Deciders (PGA Executive Board) would give Keegan another at bat following a home loss.
But, Sunday's performance should make them think about giving Keegan another at bat. Keegan's Irish heritage may also be a consideration.
the u.s. team should give more consideration to liv players.
patrick reed and brooks koepka, for example, are not ho-hum golfers: they have fire in their bellies for the u.s.a.
they are american citizens and the cup should be independent of affiliations other than nationality.
europe allows more flexibility in their selections.
That Irish heritage point deserves some consideration...as well as rethinking Bryson's play and
demeanor in a Ryder Cup
Steve Stricker would be my choice...a great guy...has done it before...and won.

The Ryder Cup format is effed up.
Two days of fourball / foursomes is way too much
It is actually ridiculous.
One day would be fine.
Individually the Euros struggle.
We stack the deck against ourselves.
It should be a two day affair. But the money is too big.
I can understand why the Euros marginalize the Majors.
The numbers don’t lie.
It is the main reason they will never be considered the
best golfers in the world.
So, if we don't win then we must change things. Loser talk.

Nonsense. Please refer to past history and the changes Nicklaus proposed..
When the USA was pummeling England and Ireland, Jack suggested opening it up to all of Europe.
The current team structure and format definitely favors the Euros.
I don’t care if they change it or not. But I’m not going to watch foursome / fourball stuff for 2 days.
Majors golf is where the best golfers play.
Jack invited competition. You're crying about it.

There is no crying in golf.
You want to watch fourball and foursomes for two days, be my guest.
I’d rather watch the Walker Cup.
Ignore him.
He's a jingoist masquarading as a golf fan. Golf is merely the latest cracker on which he spreads his American cheese.
The Euros value the Ryder Cup above all else because they don’t win Majors.
You have zero gravitas as a golf fan. Worry about the Maple Leafs.
