America's PGA reportedly wants to take a closer look at its Ryder Cup failures by creating a task force that includes former world number one Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, along with three past captains of losing U.S. teams.
The 11-member Ryder Cup Task Force, announced on Tuesday, has five players, three former captains and three PGA of America officials.
The co-chairs are PGA chief executive Pete Bevacqua and Derek Sprague, next in line to be president of the PGA of America. The purpose was to examine everything from how the captains are picked to how the players qualify for the team, and when the captain's picks are decided, Stucc.co.nz reported.
Woods said in a statement issued by the PGA that this is a great step by the PGA to accomplish what they all want and that is to win the Ryder Cup.
Europe has won the Ryder Cup eight of the last 10 times, including a 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory last month at Gleneagles.
The task force does not include Paul Azinger, who said on Monday that it was too soon after the Ryder Cup. Azinger said that he has a private meeting already scheduled with the PGA of America within the next month, the report added.
