Stricker, 51, becomes the first American to become Ryder Cup captain without having won a major championship.

The 12-time PGA Tour winner will skipper the Americans in his home state of Wisconsin from September 25-27 in 2020. 

 

 

The United States has lost four of the past five Ryder Cup matches, with their last victory on home turf at Hazeltine in 2016.

Europe - who will be led by Harrington - won the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National by a commanding scoreline of 17.5-10.5.

As a Ryder Cup player, Stricker went 3-7-1.  Harrington's record as a player reads 9-13-3.
