Ryder Cup Captain for 2014?

Three time  major winner Padraig Harrington thinks it is very unlikely that Colin Montgomerie will return for a second time as Ryder Cup captain.

The captain of the European team for the 2014 event will be selected at a players committee meeting during the Abu Dhabi Championship between January 17-20 and Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley are among the favourites .

When asked if his former Cup team-mate might be tempted to lead the side again, Harrington said: "There's not a chance, after what he went through last time, that Colin would ever take the captaincy again.
"He puts so much more on the line than anybody else, it would be madness for him. He's had a great Ryder Cup playing career, he's been a successful captain - why risk all that?
"Most players who take the captaincy, whether they win or lose, it doesn't change people's perception of their overall career, but Monty's career is based on his eight order of merit wins and his Ryder Cup performances.
"By taking the captaincy he's putting far more on the line than anybody else, because it would be hard to mention that he's unbeaten in the singles in the competition but, oh, he's also a losing captain as well. That would take the shine off his great record."
