The U.S. Ryder Cup committee will have a conference call Tuesday to discuss the future of the team, including the 2018 captain. One name that is expected to emerge as a potential captain: Fred Couples.
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III and three PGA of America officials will be on the call. Among the names that are expected to be discussed are Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker and Couples.
Furyk and Stricker were assistant captains at Hazeltine. After years of one-off captains, the committee now emphasizes continuity and a succession plan.
