TEAM USA is aiming to reclaim this weekend's Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.

The Americans will be hopeful that they can have more success on their home turf in the greatest team competition in golf.

Six-time Major winner Phil Mickelson will not be appearing for USA.

Why isn't Phil Mickelson representing the USA at Ryder Cup?

Phil Mickelson, one of the most decorated golfers, won the PGA Championship making him the oldest Major winner.

He has participated in 12 Ryder Cup matches over the years.

He's been a majorstay in every tournament since his debut in 1995.

Mickelson won't be representing Team USA at Whistling Straits this time.

After Steve Stricker's appointment as vice-captain, Phil has decided to leave the course.

The 51-year old will still be around this week as he and Stricker attempt to win the first USA victory since 2016.

Mickelson said after being appointed vice-captain, "I'm humbled to be a part this year's Ryder Cup in my capacity as assistant captain."

"I want to thank Captain Steve Stricker and all the others for including me.

"You want guys to be their best.

"If they play their best golf the US team is really strong with many great young players and a lot more young talent.

"But you have to get the best out of them."
