re: Will tiger be on ryder cup to appease networks?

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.

I can buy something like this. If they want to find a way to not include Tiger that is still helping him "save face", then I'm fine with that. The guy does deserve much respect for what he has done for golf.

But no way should Tiger Woods even be in the discussion for being on this Ryder Cup team. When he had to quit in the middle of the round two weeks ago that should have been the end of discussion. He is either A, too hurt to play on this team and you can't afford to have him injured during the matches. Or B, he just sucks so bad right now that he will get blitzed 8 and 7 in head to head competition.

Great in theory but I don't think he would step aside. Right now he can't help and should be left off. If he was healthy, yes he'd be a no brainer pick.
