New US Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson

Tom Watson will become the oldest captain of the United States Ryder Cup team after being named as skipper for Gleneagles  2014.

Eight-time major champion Watson was the last US skipper to record an away win, with a 1993 victory at the Belfry. David Toms and Larry Nelson were also tipped to take the job for the event which runs from 26-28 September 2014. Fun Fact - our boy Joe once caddied in the same group as Tom Watson in Ballybunion.
