Golf Channel<\/a>\u2018s Damon Hack from the Bank of Utah Championship, where he is making just his third start since April, Horschel said he has spoken with some \u201cbigger names that have been part of Ryder Cups\u201d.<\/p>\nHe explained: \u201cThe thing that I shared with them is that, over the last five or six years [of me] being on the European Tour, is understanding that the European Tour runs their Ryder Cup. So they see these people, they know the backroom staff, they can have conversations, when they\u2019re over there playing, about the Ryder Cup, even if it\u2019s a couple of years in advance, about hotels or anything that comes across their mind about how to make things better.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have that ability to talk to these people that they have a relationship with on a regular basis, and in my opinion we don\u2019t have that with the PGA of America.\u201d<\/p>\n
And while he immediately rolled back on the stance somewhat \u2013 \u201cthey do come around and they do a great job\u201d \u2013 Horschel is clear about what needs to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that it\u2019s time that the PGA Tour to take over,\u201d he said. \u201cThey should run Team USA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to take more ownership of our team and have people there who work on that Ryder Cup on a yearly basis, and are out at our tournaments that we can have a relationship with and talk through things about so we don\u2019t miss things, and things don\u2019t slip through the cracks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Horschel, however, doesn\u2019t believe the incumbent should be removed from the picture altogether.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PGA of America can still run the Ryder Cup,\u201d Horshel explained. \u201cThey can still sell all the corporate stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
With LIV Golf players banned from playing PGA Tour-sanctioned events, Horschel\u2019s plans would, of course, mean the end of any involvement of players contracted to the league. Since its inauguration, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau have represented Team USA, earning three points between them across two Ryder Cups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the United States Ryder Cup team in its worst run of results in the competition\u2019s near 100-year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-223274","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
