Paul McGinley says he won't be cashing in on his stint as Ryder Cup captain by releasing a tell-all book.
Previous captains like Mark James and Paul Azinger have released behind-the-scenes accounts of their Ryder Cup experiences, but McGinley won't be following their lead.
"I want the players to know that what happens behind the scenes next year stays there and they can be free and open," he said. "I won't write a book."
Not that the Irishman was unwilling to divulge any details of last year's famous 'Miracle at Medinah', when the Europeans fought back from a 10-6 deficit heading into the final day to claim a single-point victory.
"We had a team meeting on Saturday night around 10pm which lasted for 20 minutes and if you had sat and observed a team that was four points behind, you would have come out and called your bookie to find out what their odds were," said McGinley.
"It was not a case of 'Braveheart' and standing on chairs but there was a feeling in the room that this was achievable."
He added: "It was horrible to be on the receiving end of an American onslaught but that was such a wonderful Ryder Cup for me in terms of my experience point of view," McGinley added.
"We had never been behind the way we were at Medinah.
"I'm glad it happened that way because I have that experience to fall back on and I learnt a lot from Jose Maria on Friday and Saturday night."
