John Daly Pitches 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup Role, Urges Tiger Woods to Join Him

The two-time major winner is publicly seeking a 2027 leadership role after years of Ryder Cup omission.

Overview

  • Daly, 59, told Hard Rock Bet he wants to captain or co‑captain Team USA at Adare Manor in 2027.
  • He appealed for Tiger Woods to be involved with him, calling Woods an “unbelievable” potential leader.
  • Woods has said no one has asked him about the 2027 captaincy yet, with a ruptured Achilles and recent back surgery raising questions about his availability.
  • Daly remains a notable two‑time major champion who never played in a Ryder Cup, a snub he says drives his bid to lead.
  • Recent precedent under 2025 captain Keegan Bradley, who selected Kevin Kisner and Gary Woodland despite no prior Ryder Cup appearances, is cited as evidence that unconventional leadership choices are possible.
