re: Who is the most likely USA Ryder Cup Captain for 2025 at Bethpage?

I think the RC at Bethpage in NY is going to be mother of all RCs, in terms of ratings and promotions. A truly big event.
That kind of event calls for prime timers as Captains.
I think it will be Tiger and Sergio.

Anybody else think or is there evidence that people likely decline the offer to be the US captain when the Cup is played in Europe? Rational decision seems to be to wait 2 years for a US cup for your legacy’s sake

Should be Tiger with Couples and O’Meara assistants.
But don’t get your hopes up too much. The Euros are always way more of a “team.” Which is remarkable since they’re from all over the continent and half play our tour more often and went to college here.
The US RC victories have been more due to sheer talent difference.

so they left him off the Ryder Cup team even in years he won majors and was clearly good enough for the team.
Isn’t it like a point system to qualify? So maybe he just wasn’t good enough

Ratings were trash from this last Ryder cup

Ratings will suffer because it’s now America vs America lite
Everyone lives in America, everyone plays on the American tour, etc

Tiger was in it, right after he won at East Lake and in his first Ryder Cup appearance since 2012

NBC earned a 1.6 final rating and 2.2 million viewers for Sunday coverage of the Ryder Cup, down 58% in ratings and 60% in viewership from 2012 (3.8, 6.0M) and down 24% in both measures from 2010, the last time the tournament took place from Europe (2.1, 2.9M). Saturday coverage drew a 1.4 and 1.9 million, down 53% in ratings and 55% in viewership from 2012 and down 22% and 27%, respectively, from 2010 (1.8, 2.6M). This year marked the first time that NBC has aired live Saturday coverage of a European Ryder Cup. This year’s tournament produced the two lowest rated Ryder Cup telecasts since at least 1997, and almost certainly the two lowest rated ever on NBC (dates back to 1991). Individual ratings prior to ’97 were not available, but NBC’s two-day coverage averaged a 2.5 rating in 1991, a 3.8 in 1993 and a 4.1 in 1995 — making it unlikely that any individual telecast dipped as low as this year’s 1.4 and 1.6.
