the 2010 and 2012 matches, McGinley served as one of the European vice-captains to Colin Montgomerie and José María Olazábal respectively. On 15 January 2013, he was named the Europe team captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup. In May 2013, McGinley gave European player Sergio García his backing following a public feud that the Spaniard had with Tiger Woods and a controversial "fried chicken" remark that García made about Woods. In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, McGinley said: "I think there's a personality clash and they don't particularly like each other's company. For me, it's no big deal. He apologised for it and, as far as I'm concerned, we move on. People make mistakes and say things all the time that they regret and didn't mean." In September, Europe went on to win the 2014 Ryder Cup by five points. Personal life McGinley is married to wife Alison. She formerly played golf for England and on the Ladies European Tour. They have three children and currently reside in Sunningdale, England. McGinley is an executive fellow of the Leadership Institute at the London Business School. In 2008, McGinley spoke of his relief after his daughter Maia survived a 20–foot fall down a manhole. She was six years old at the time when she slipped on a dislodged manhole cover and plunged down the drain. She was taken to hospital but remarkably had no serious injuries. McGinley said: "We are just so lucky and so grateful she is fine." McGinley enjoys association football and is a fan of Celtic and West Ham United.
