Aggreko will provide power generation and temperature control for the 2016 Ryder Cup taking place September 27 through October 3 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.

As part of that new process, the 12th and final pick won’t be made until five days before the start of the matches, giving Love and his lieutenants an opportunity to take a player who gets hot at the end of the PGA Tour season – a contingency plan that could have benefitted the U.S.in 2014, when Billy Horschel won the final two FedEx Cup events after the USA team was already chosen. Holmes finished tied for fourth at the BMW Championship on Sunday and is one of the few active Americans to have never lost in the event.
That said, his claims were every bit as valid as those of Fowler, who is equally out of form and will not even be at the Tour Championship, having failed narrowly to make the top 30. If they were slam-dunk, no-doubt-about-it, ideal-situation options, they’d likely already be one of the eight automatic qualifiers who made the team two weeks ago. After posting top-10s in his next two starts, Fowler has just four top-10s in 17 starts since.
Kuchar, who won a bronze medal at Rio, qualified 16th after tying for fourth at Crooked Stick.
Bill Belichick’s coaching strategy came up during Monday’s Ryder Cup press conference.
First, it was Rory McIlroy at close to his best who denied the Englishman a long overdue win and then, on Sunday, Casey played beautifully again at the BMW Championship, only to be foiled this time by the brilliance of Dustin Johnson.
Jacklin said:”I’m proud to host such a great event like this and raise some important money to support the incredible charity work of Rainbows”.
“I’ve been on a lot of teams with Matt (Kuchar)”.
“We’re a sports team and we have to draft the right player for the right position”, Love said.
Woods has not played in more than a year after multiple back surgeries.
The big-hitting Kentuckian has only one Ryder Cup appearance to his name, but he was one of the stars of the show on his debut at Valhalla in 2008, winning two and halving the other of his three matches to help Paul Azinger’s side to a convincing victory.
“Experience is good. We know what to expect”.
“I really am thrilled to be part of this. There’s been some awkward conversations with him but we’ve told him not to put his clubs away just yet”.
It is also worth pointing out that he has yet to win a match against Europe, but this will be his first home Ryder Cup.

“We found no weaknesses in his game”, Love said of Fowler.
