The next Ryder Cup will take place from September 17th to 19th, 2027, at Adare Manor in County Limerick.
While the name of the captain and the members of the American coaching staff are not yet known, an American legend has already declared his intention to participate.
John Daly, who has never qualified or been selected despite his two major championship victories (the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 Open), hopes to take part in the competition for the first time. He envisions himself as part of the next captain's inner circle.
John Daly, Ryder Cup
At least, that's what he stated 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 is voting for Tiger Woods. Will Daly's wish be granted? If so, it would fill a void felt by the now 59-year-old player.
I feel like I should have been on two teams, but it just didnt happen. I didnt play well enough. Being part of the Ryder Cup is something Id love to do, so why not as vice-captain?
While Tiger Woods name is frequently mentioned as a possible successor to Keegan Bradley, theres no doubt that John Dalys presence on the coaching staff would add even more spice to the upcoming Europe/USA clash.
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 sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the failure of many players to comply with the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
