United States' 2014 Ryder Cup captain set to be unveiled It's the best event in golf and to be able to captain a US team and somehow get a victory, that would certainly be one of the highlights of my career - if not the highlight. Jeff Sluman, Scott Verplank, Mike Hulbert and Fred Couples served as vice-captains three months ago, but although Couples would be a hugely popular choice, he is the current Presidents Cup captain. Toms lost only one of his five games on his Ryder Cup debut at The Belfry in 2002, but scored only one point two years later and did not win a game in Ireland in 2006.
