Although the name of the captain and the members of the American coaching staff are not yet known, an American legend has already indicated that he wants to participate.
John Daly, who never qualified or selected despite his two major championship victories (the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 Open), hopes to compete for the first time. He sees himself as part of the next captain’s inner circle.
John Daly, Ryder Cup
At least that’s what he says in an interview with one of his sponsors, a sports betting website.
And this is for a very personal reason related to his Irish heritage, as his ancestors came from Cork.
Daly votes for Tiger Woods. Will Daly’s wish be granted? If so, it would fill a void that the now 59-year-old player felt.
“I feel like I should have played on two teams, but that just didn’t happen. I didn’t play well enough. Being part of the Ryder Cup is something I would like to do, so why not as vice-captain?”
While Tiger Woods’ name is often mentioned as a possible successor to Keegan Bradley, there is no doubt that the presence of John Daly on the coaching staff would add even more spice to the upcoming match between Europe and the US.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a fundamental element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often produces distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the inability of many players to adhere to the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, called etiquette, which generally means that the game is played with respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential part of this sport.
