American legend Fred Couples has confirmed that he’s been contacted by the US Ryder Cup task force about becoming its next captain in 2016.
Couples has an undefeated record in his three stints as captain of the Presidents Cup team. According to unofficial reports, both Phil Mickelson, a vociferous critic of the US’ strategy this past summer, and Tiger Woods, reached out to Couples after the most recent Ryder Cup defeat at the hands of the Europeans.
Couples criticized coach Tom Watson’s decision to bench Mickelson during the competition last September.
