Paul McGinley has resigned as one of Europe's assistants to captain Nick Faldo for next year's Ryder Cup. The news comes on the eve of the Seve Trophy in which Faldo is captaining the Britain & Ireland squad.
There was some surprise that Faldo did not name McGinley as one of his two wildcard picks for the competition.
Faldo said that had nothing to do with his decision, adding: "From the start he was concerned about the workload - the bottom line is he wants to play."
The British & Ireland squad, which will play Seve Ballesteros' Europe side, has no Irish players in it, with Faldo opting for Simon Dyson and Marc Warren as his wildcards.
Earlier this year Faldo named Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal and McGinley - two members of last year's winning side - as his two assistants for the 2008 competition in America.
But he said he would select late alternatives should either qualify as players.
