The Ryder Cup Captains are seen as the most important part of the team when it comes to the Ryder Cup weekend. It is their job first of all to make their wild card picks with Europe having three and the US having 4. When it comes to the event they will need to make the pairings for the foursomes and four balls which has proved a crucial task in the past. It has proved important to get the chemistry right in the pairings and that was highlighted by the ill fated decision by Hal Sutton to pair Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson together in 2004.
Colin Montogomerie is a Ryder Cup legend who has appeared at the Ryder Cup on no less than eight occasions and is the second highest points scorer of all time behind previous captain Nick Faldo. Monty has the remarkable record of never losing a Ryder Cup singles match. He was a surprising choice for the captaincy as many thought he would want another crack at playing should he have qualified but he certainly loves the Ryder Cup Golf and many expect him to thrive under the pressure.
Corey Pavin was named US Ryder Cup Captain at the end of 2008 and he is charged with following up the Americans success in 2008. Pavin was a fine player who won the US Open in 1995 as well as playing in three successive Ryder Cups in the early 90's. Pavin will have four picks at his disposal as well as having the tricky task of getting the best out of Tiger Woods who some believe doesn't enjoy the team atmosphere.
