 Montgomerie was in France to watch McGinley in action as captain
|
Paul McGinley does not want to be seen as a Ryder Cup captain-in-waiting after guiding Britain and Ireland to victory over Europe in the Vivendi Trophy.
The Irishman is expected to be named as one of captain Colin Montgomerie's assistants for the 2010 Ryder Cup if he fails to make the team as a player.
McGinley, 42, is also being touted as a potential captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup against America at Gleneagles.
But he said: "I want to be a player. I don't want to be an official yet."
McGinley's support helped Britain and Ireland defeat Europe 16½-11½ to win the Vivendi Trophy, formerly known as the Seve Trophy, for a fifth successive time.
As a player, he holed the winning putt on his Ryder Cup debut in 2002 and went on to become the first European golfer to play in three successive victories, but he missed last year's defeat in Valhalla.
And his hopes of making next year's team, at the Celtic Manor in Wales, as anything other than one of Montgomerie's assistants appears slim.

But the Dubliner said: "I don't know if I'm ready for it.
"One minute I think I'm good with this role and the next I want to be playing - I'm so envious of the guys playing. I'm really struggling with it."
McGinley is currently 116th in the European Tour money list and has only had one top 10 finish this season.
Only the top 115 keep their Tour cards at the end of the season, but McGinley does have the comfort of a five-year exemption after winning the Volvo Masters in 2005, his last tournament win.
He is playing in this week's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
