CHASKA, Minn. -- The original 11-man Ryder Cup Task Force was set up in 2014 to come up with a plan -- a system we'll call it -- for captains and assistant captains to make smooth transitions from team to team with the goal of returning Team USA to the success America once had in this exhibition (competition).
So who's the American captain for 2018 in France that will try to defend the Ryder Cup?
There are two vice-captains on this year's team who make the most sense, but there's an outlier who could bring something to the table as a captain, especially since 2018 is an "away" game for Team USA.
Here's who gets to drive the next few captains' carts.
