Stricker would be 'honored and excited' to captain U.S. Ryder Cup team
0:001:07HONOLULU – On Tuesday, the European Tour named Padraig Harrington the Continent’s 2020 Ryder Cup captain, ending months of speculation that the Irishman would be tabbed to replace Thomas Bjorn.
For the U.S. team, Steve Stricker is the presumptive favorite to succeed Jim Furyk as captain when the matches are played at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, which is about 100 miles northeast of Stricker’s home in Madison.
Although many see Stricker as the easy choice, the 51-year-old wasn’t giving away any secrets on Wednesday when he spoke with the media at the Sony Open.
