Double Major winning John Daly does not really take in to consideration the Ryder Cup Task Force and has announced that he is supporting Phil Mickelson as the leader of the American team for the 2016 at Hazeltine.
Daly has won the 1991 PGA Championship and 1995 British Open but remains the only American to have won a Major and not play on a USA Ryder Cup team.
But he insisted that winning the Ryder Cup will not be rely on the task force implemented by the US PGA.
He said "I don't know where they're going with a task force, I really don't as they should just go ahead and pick a captain. My view is that Phil Mickelson should be the next captain and play at Hazeltine."
He adds "Phil seems to thrive on Ryder Cup competition, does well when he plays. He knows everything about the Ryder Cup so maybe it should be him or Tiger Woods who should be the next captain. We've had playing captains over the years, so why not in 2016?"
And although Daly has not joined any Ryder Cup, he believes that he will be able to contribute to the team if he is appointed as the vice captain.
He said "I know I will never be a captain but it would be fun and an experience if I could be involved in some way as I could keep the guys loose and ensure they have a bit of fun. But then if they picked Phil he will have a full team respect. He knows the workings of the PGA of America given he's been a three-times PGA Champion, so he would be a great player."
"And it's not rocket science why the European Team has been winning and it doesn't need a task force to work it out."
On other news, Daly is competing on an invitation in Turkey and in his final event of the year after sharing 29th place in last week's PGA Tour event in Jackson, Mississippi.
Then the following April, Daly will be turning 49 and three months ahead of the 20-year anniversary of his play-off victory in the 1995 British Open at St. Andrews where the 2015 championship is to be staged.
He commented "I'm just looking forward to going back to St. Andrews so much and since they adopted this five-year rotation of playing the Old Course, it's been great. I just love St. Andrews so much whether I play good or bad as it's my favourite golf course."
