Ryder Cup

Would make a great spectacle for the media and fans, but have little to no bearing on the outcome.
Each of our guys should have been required to play at Fortinet. Hell Spieth just had a baby, where do u think his mind was for 3 days? We just stunk up the place.
I just really wonder how badly the Americans really want it. Spieth is still struggling with the same swing issues he has had forever and still keeps the same coach. He needs a second set of eyes but does he really care? These guys have so much money that I wonder what motivates them.
They are like all of us. When our games stink we get extremely frustrated and sometimes leads to even worse things. The difference is they have access to world class teaching, facilities, etc etc plus enormous talent but I do think that most lose their edge when they become as rich as they do and other life events take more priority that takes the sting of losing away. The Tiger’s of the world who are able to reinvent their games/swings multiple times and continue to win are extremely rare and why I would never put Rory, Spieth or most of these other guys anywhere near the all time great’s conversation.
As for the next one, seems like a no brainer for Tiger to be the guy. He may be one of the few who can win it in spite of the usual suspects that have infested the team for years now as players and assistants.
And right on cue, reports are circulating, including quotes from Schauffle's father, that in fact money was an issue with the American team, Xander almost got removed from the team over some of these issues.
Geezus, don't guys like Scheffler, Speith, et al, have enough damn money to not want to play for the USA once every two years? Really pitiful if that is the case, I bet Keegan Bradley would have paid his own way to be on the team.

Yep...it's essentially an all expenses paid vacation for the guys, gals, caddies, etc. You're playing golf...not going on the front lines in Ukraine. If this is going to be the $entiment, then take your game to Dubai and good riddance.
Bradley, Glover, Theegala, Young....they would have gladly taken any spot in place of one of the spoiled brats.
That the rules of the PGA of America. You can’t say the best golfers in professional golf represent the USA. No one knows how they will shot but Bryson would have brought the Rome course to its knees and Dustin as well. Right or wrong, most fans want to put the 12 best golfers in play.
At one point, the captains picks were strategic. Players who the course favored, got hot at the end of the season, or brought something special to the team were captains picks. Today, the captains pick their friends more often than not regardless if they are playing like hot garbage or not. I really wish that would change.
