Will he be picked just to appease the networks for ratings and television revenue?

Just a thought of how much this is taken into account on "Watson's" decision. Will the almighty $$ take over?

I dont think he gets picked and nor should he be. Guy is a wreck right now and does nothing to help America win.

Hoping/believing Tom has more backbone than to bow to pressure from TV.

i hope he doesn't get picked so he can spend the entire offseason fully recovering and practicing for the push for 19


hopefully sometime in that stretch he finds a new swing coach

Tom Watson had to beat around the bush a little bit after the PGA Championship. He shouldn't and probably won't pick Tiger.

he's just not golf ready, or physically ready, would be a mistake in my opinion

After watching Tom Watson's press conference yesterday, there is no question in my mind, he will be picked.

I think Tiger will flip the situation and come out and say he isn't well enough to play. He will take the heat off watson

Tiger does not deserve to be on the team.

He will be picked because he is one of the greatest golfers in history. He will then come out and say he isn't well enough and cannot help the team to win. He will step down and an alternate will be picked. This appeases everyone. Shows respect to one of the GOAT's and allows Tiger the dignity to step aside.

This is my opinion only and could be totally wrong...

Well then “@WillGrayGC: Watson said Tiger told him directly in conversation: "I want you to pick me."”
