Davis Love III said Wednesday that the succession plan for U.S. team captains is in flux after Phil Mickelson’s controversial remarks cast doubt on his future viability.
Speaking ahead of the RBC Heritage, where Love celebrated his 58th birthday and announced two assistant captains for the upcoming Presidents Cup, Love was asked why one of his newly appointed vice captains, Fred Couples, was never asked to lead the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
“Fred’s good in the locker room, in a practice round, as a captain – I thought he would have been a great Ryder Cup captain,” Love said.
