Steve Stricker is going to his seventh straight Ryder Cup, this time in his home state of Wisconsin as the American captain.

Stricker officially was appointed Ryder Cup captain Wednesday morning in Milwaukee, an hour south of where the Americans will try to win back the Ryder Cup in 2020 at Whistling Straits.

Europe already has appointed Padraig Harrington as its captain.

Stricker, who turns 52 on Saturday, has previous captaincy experience after leading the U.S. team to a win at the 2017 Presidents Cup.

In addition to the 2017 victory as captain, Stricker appeared in five prior Presidents Cups as a player (1996, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013), with the U.S. team winning all five.

He won 12 times on the PGA TOUR and didn't play in his first Ryder Cup until he was 41, in 2008 at Valhalla, a rare U.S. win.

Stricker played in three straight Ryder Cups through 2012, followed by three stints as an assistant captain.
