‘Great Choice’: Golf World Reacts to Team USA’s Captain for 2023 Ryder Cup

After an incredible 2021 Ryder Cup, the next edition of this biennial event is all set to begin in 2023. However, the preparations for the event have already begun, as according to a few reports, Zach Johnson will be the next U.S. Ryder Cup captain. 

Previously, Steve Stricker was the skipper of the side and he helped the United States regain the trophy against a strong European team. However, for the next Ryder Cup, Steve will no longer serve as captain as he is a part of the Ryder Cup committee to pick the next captain. And hence, Zach Johnson will be promoted to his role.
