This is extremely disappointing.

The debate has been on about who will be the U.S. Ryder Cup team captain and it reportedly will not be Tiger Woods. Woods declined the chance to lead America in 2025 when they take on Europe at Bethpage, according to The Telegraph.

Woods will reportedly not have the time to be able to handle the captaincy due to him being deeply involved with the negotiations between the PGA Tour and Public Investment Fund (PIF), the financial powerhouse that’s under the control of the Saudi Arabian government and funds LIV Golf.

A vice captain in the past, Woods has been one of the biggest names — if not the biggest — to be brought up as the guy for the role.

And now with Tiger out, The Telegraph is reporting that PGA veteran Stewart Cink could be the captain, which I’m not a fan of whatsoever.

What a bummer, especially considering I just tweeted this not that long ago:

Now that we’re at this point — and no, I’m not trying to hear the name Stewart Cink — the PGA of America executive team needs to swallow their pride and bring on Phil Mickelson as the captain, and I want Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka put on as his main vice captains.

It’s the only way to move forward.

UPDATE: Keegan Bradley will be named as the next captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, according to a report from Sports Illustrated. He succeeds Zach Johnson, who Bradley was bypassed by for the captaincy in the 2023 edition of the prestigious tournament.

Can’t lie … I’m not hating this move. It breaks the mold, and that we can work with.

Now, at least bring on Phil Mickelson as a vice-captain, we can just let Bryson and Brooks be hard-hitters from there.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
