Billy Horschel Urges PGA Tour Control of U.S. Ryder Cup Team

His call centers the U.S. debate on governance, not talent or tactics.

Overview

  • Horschel told Golf Today that the PGA Tour or designated leaders should run Team USA’s Ryder Cup operations year-round.
  • He said the PGA of America could continue handling the event’s commercial side while operational control shifts to the Tour.
  • He contrasted Europe’s DP World Tour model, where players regularly engage with the same backroom staff, fostering continuity.
  • Critics have long argued the U.S. split between the PGA of America and the PGA Tour undermines cohesion, with Europe winning 12 of the last 20 Cups.
  • Following a 15–13 U.S. loss at Bethpage Black, no governance changes have been announced as attention turns to Adare Manor in 2027.
