McGinley to leave book on the shelf

Paul McGinley has vowed not to cash in on his stint as Ryder Cup captain by writing a book detailing what goes on behind the scenes at Gleneagles.

Mark James and Paul Azinger are among previous captains to have gone into print about their time in charge of Europe and the US in 1999 and 2008 respectively, but McGinley won’t follow suit.

“I want the players to know that what happens behind the scenes next year stays there and they can be free and open,” McGinley said yesterday. “I won’t write a book.”
