1. McGinley has serious Ryder Cup pedigree
He’s taken part in three successful tournaments , been a vice-captain and holed the winning putt on his debut at the Belfry in 2002. Not bad.

The Dubliner was very much a part of the European team that staged the event’s greatest ever comeback in Chicago last year.
3. Because his nickname isn’t Mrs Doubtfire
Monty’s is unfortunately. If you’re an American golf fan at least.
4. Because Rory says so
And he’s wearing the Nike swoosh now and is world No 1. So there.
5. Because he hasn’t done it already
And Monty has. You might have noticed he mentioned it once or twice during Sky Sports’ Ryder Cup coverage from Medinah last September.
6. McGinley is buddies with Jim McGuinness and has said ‘I would absolutely love to play for this guy’.
I suspect Jim wouldn’t like Monty.

8. McGinley owns this leather jacket AND knows Eddie Jordan

9. McGinley follows Celtic, Monty supports Rangers
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
What have we forgotten?
