Zach Johnson tipped to succeed Stricker as US Ryder Cup captain
The United States will name their 2023 Ryder Cup captain next week, with Zach Johnson tipped to succeed Steve Stricker in the role. The PGA of America has announced a press conference for Monday to reveal the identity of the man who will be charged with retaining the trophy at Marco Simone Golf Club in Italy. The United States have not won the Ryder Cup on European soil since 1993, but stormed to a record 19-9 victory at Whistling Straits last year, with all 12 of their team ranked inside the world's top 21 at the time. Johnson played in the Ryder Cup five times and was only on the winning side in his final appearance in 2016. The two-time major champion, who will celebrate his 46th birthday on Thursday, was an assistant captain to Jim Furyk in 2018 in Paris and to Stricker at Whistling Straits.
