Love preparing for a Ryder Cup year
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP)—There is plenty of evidence that this is a Ryder Cup year.
The U.S. players are starting to earn points from regular PGA Tour events, with Kyle Stanley atop the standings based on his runner-up finish and win in consecutive weeks. Davis Love III walks onto the range and players call him “captain.”
Love, however, said the race to make the team really doesn’t start until late May. That’s when two dozen or so players begin getting fitted for uniforms.
“When I always played, you went to the Memorial, got measured for clothes, and you started choking on points,” Love said Wednesday. “So that’s probably the time that it’s serious, when you get measured for your clothes and the points start settling out.”
Love still hasn’t announced his assistant captains, saying he will work with European captain Jose Maria Olazabal to find a good time when they can do that together. He thinks four assistants is a good number.
Love said he would consider past captains, and especially longtime friendFred Couples, even though Couples could be a distraction because the players like him so much. Couples is 2-0 as Presidents Cup captain.
“I’m looking to get the guys to play more relaxed and have fun,” he said. “Obviously, we want to win, and it seems like Fred has put together a formula where they came out firing and relaxed and made some great pairings. So he and I have already talked a lot, and he would be high on my list.
“I’m going to rely on my friends that have played a lot of Ryder Cups, and Fred is definitely one of them.”
Love said, however, that Couples is a candidate to be Presidents Cup captain for the third time.
