Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson made for terrible partners at the 2004 Ryder Cup. A decade later, the two appear poised to work together to fix a systemic problem.
PGA of America president Ted Bishop has indicated multiple times in the last week there would be change coming to the entire U.S. approach to the biennial matches, from how a captain is picked and players are selected to the itinerary the week of the event two years hence. Bishop has said that change will come from recommendations made by a task force of current players, former captains and other PGA of America officials.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are expected to be part of that group, according to GolfChannel.com, as well victorious 2008 Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger and 2012 captain Davis Love III, whose team lost a 10-6 Saturday night lead at Medinah.
What will come of this task force is uncertain. However, Bishop did make it clear this committee will hold up the announcement of the 2016 American captain. The name of that person will likely emerge from this committee.
