The rumor is, Tiger Woods turned down the Captaincy for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in 2025.

The smart money is on Stewart Cink to be the Captain. The announcement will be tomorrow (July 9th).

As many know, Stewart's parents live on the Mallory Hill golf course (please don't ask where).

You had to remind everyone. You know there are a lot of Village sleuths with a lot of time on their hands.

Mr./Mrs. Cink....you might wanna close the blinds!

I can imagine that there would be people who would want to go past Stewart's house, in hopes of seeing him; but his parent's house?

People don't have anything better to do with their time?

Captain doesn’t play but he gets to pick part of the roster. Huge honor and responsibility

Everyone will know when Stewart brings the boys in for a practice round at Mallory. I understand there are lot of similarities between Mallory Hill and Bethpage Black.

The other possibility as captain, is reportedly Keegan Bradley. Keegan is a great guy. He lived in a trailer park in Bolton for a while, down the road from IGC. I don't see it, but you never know.

My favorite Keegan Bradley quote. After winning the PGA Championship, he was in the pre-tournament presser at The Masters the next year. He was asked, "what do you think your chances are, at winning another Major"? Bradley replies, "how hard can it be? I've won the only one I've ever played in".

Bradley is a Hopkinton MA native as well?
He would be a great addition as he was snubbed the last time

Having played Bethpage Black over 200 times and Mallory over 100 times, the only similarity is they both have 18 holes and are played primarily on grass. (Of course you already knew that 😂😂😂)

Woodstock, VT, actually. Moved to Hopkinton in HS. Lived in trailer in Bolton for a while, when his mother and father split up. Father is a PGA Professional, but had some issues back in the day.

Keegan's Aunt Pat is the person responsible for probably the #1 worst display of golf sportsmanship, in the history of the game.

(Sorenstam charges Americans with bad sportsmanship | The Independent | The Independent)

What most of the articles don't say, is Pat Bradley (& Patty Hurst) absolutely knew Annika wasn't away. They could have told Annika before she made the chip, but chose to keep their mouths shut and get 2 bites out of the apple.

I was going say exactly that, but Mallory has 27 holes and the grass is ..... well, different. 😂

That came from Bob Harig.

Up until Harig posted, the money was on Stewart Cink. Harig is well connected, so we'll see.

I'd love to see Keegan get it (only because there was no chance they'd pick David Duval), but Keegan presents some issues. He's young, he still plays the PGA Tour regularly and there's bad blood between Keegan & the JT/Fowler/Spieth gang. Keegan got screwed out of his spot on the last Ryder Cup, because Zach was weak and got ganged up on ... & paid the price.

My friend Mark Baldwin had a great take on it. Phil and Keegan are very good friends. He said if Keegan gets it, he then appoints Phil as Asst. Captain.

Keegan goes humming along as Captain, until he's sure he's going to qualify on points. Then he resigns to "concentrate of playing" and Phil becomes the Captain. I'd love to see that scenario!

I'm waiting to see RadarAtlas' post. I'm sure he's watching to see if NetJets flies Cink or Keegan anywhere tonight.

If Keegan gets the nod, I can't wait for his phone to Zach, informing him that he's not picking him as an Asst. Captain!

PGA just announced it. Keegan is in.

Very strange choice.

I have a lot local friends who know Keegan and they all say he's a great guy. I've heard he's not that well liked on Tour. I guess he can be a bit on the intense side, which may be what's needed at the Ryder Cup.

I hope he does well.

Mr. & Mrs. Cink are safe.
