U.S. captain Davis Love III has selected Michael Jordan as one of his advisors for the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club later this month.
"I've talked to him. Michael's going to be hanging around with Fred (Couples) probably a lot and be an influence," Love said. "I told Michael this a couple weeks ago. One of the neatest things I ever saw in the Ryder Cup was Michael riding in the golf cart with Tom Kite. He came out to watch Freddie and I play and I thought that was one of the coolest things.
"So I want my team, like Fred and I did, to get to see Michael. Rather than him sneaking around in the gallery, I want him to be seen and I want him to be in our team room, be hanging around and be a great influence."
An avid golfer, Jordan served as an assistant to Couples during the 2009 Presidents Cup.
