Phil Mickelson Shuts Down Ryder Cup Rumors 🚨 Declares His Involvement “Over” Ahead of 2027 Captaincy Talk

The Ryder Cup post-mortem has already started for Team USA, and the big question on everyone’s mind is: Who will captain the Americans at Adare Manor in 2027? 🤔🇺🇸

Many fans and insiders believe Tiger Woods is the frontrunner, thanks to his close ties with Adare’s owner JP McManus, while names like Stewart Cink and Steve Stricker have also been floated. But what about Phil Mickelson?

After a cheeky social media suggestion from Lee Westwood, speculation swirled that Mickelson might make a shock return as Ryder Cup captain. However, Lefty wasted no time shutting it down, tweeting:
👉 “No rumours. My Ryder Cup involvement is over. I’m happy being a spectator and rooting for Team USA.”

Mickelson, the USA’s all-time Ryder Cup points scorer, last played in 2018 at Le Golf National and served as vice-captain in 2021. With his Ryder Cup chapter now officially closed, the spotlight shifts firmly to Woods and the next generation of leaders.

The RDER Cup may not officially be over just yet, but with Europe cruising toward victory at Beth Paige Black, the postmortem has already begun on the American side. Top of the agenda, what happens next for team USA. The decision to appoint Keegan Bradley as captain has been widely viewed as a gamble that didn’t pay off, and attention has already shifted to who might take charge in 2027 when the contest heads to Utter Manor in Ireland. Unsurprisingly, Tiger Woods is the overwhelming favorite. His long-standing friendship with Otter owner JP Mcmanis makes him a natural fit, and many believe the time is right for Woods to step into the captain’s role. Other potential candidates reportedly include Stuart Sink and Steve Stricker. Both respected figures with RDER Cup experience point one man who has already ruled himself out, however, is Phil Mickelson. Before his move to the LIV Golf League, Mickelson had been viewed as the most likely successor and was even considered a strong candidate to lead the US at Beth Page this year. Of course, that scenario never materialized. Still, with tensions around Elivy slowly easing and whispers of reconciliation growing, some have suggested that defectors like Mickelson along with Europe’s Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood, and Ian Poulter could yet find themselves back in the Ryder Cup conversation. Westwood even cheekily floated the idea on social media, tweeting, “Hey, at Phil Mickelson fancy at the Adair Manor in 2027.” The comment sparked a flurry of speculation and fan excitement, but Mickelson quickly shut it down. “No rumors,” he responded. “My Ryder Cup involvement is over. I’m happy being a spectator and rooting for Team USA. It’s a definitive stance from the USA’s all-time RDER Cup point scorer, whose most recent involvement came in 2021 as a vice captain to Stricker in the American win at Whistling Straits. His last appearance as a player was in 2018 at L Golf National where his final shot found water on the par 316th handing victory to Europe’s Francesco Molinari and sealing the match for Mickelson. The RDER Cup chapter is officially closed for team USA. However, the search for answers and the right leader is only just beginning.
