Two-time major winner Zach Johnson has been confirmed as Steve Stricker’s successor as the United States captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup.
The PGA of America announced Johnson’s appointment in the role at a press conference on Monday. The 46-year-old will be charged with defending the famous trophy they emphatically claimed when the bi-annual tournament is contested at Marco Simone Golf Club in Italy next September.
Johnson, who won the Masters in 2007 and The Open Championship in 2015, has previously operated as an assistant captain on two occasions, aiding Jim Furyk in 2018 and Stricker in the USA’s crushing 19-9 win at Whistling Straits last autumn.
