Do you make Tiger Woods your Captain's Choice for Ryder Cup?

I would not. He is not playing consistently right now and he's never been that good at match play anyway. Plus he's a douche and a bad example... :D

These are the guys I would choose...

Stewart Cink

Zach Johnson

They may need a replacement for Anthony Kim too... he's still out with that thumb injury.

I say if he wants to be on the team (which apparently he does), then you put him on the team. From a business standpoint, it is good for ratings. From a non business standpoint, maybe a Ryder Cup is just what Tiger needs at this point. Honestly though, whatever Pavin decides is probably the right choice. Tough decision.

I guess it really depends on what the Captain traditionally bases his choices on. If it's based on performance in 2010, Tiger should not be on the team. Yes he's 12th in points, but he just shot +18 in a tourney two weeks ago and he's been hurt twice this year.

Maybe if he comes back and plays good the next couple of weeks, pick him...

In all reality however, he'll be on the team... he's still ranked #1 in the world and he's Tiger.

Yes. He's still much better than Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink. And he's MUCH MUCH MUCH better this year than those two in Majors.

Zach just finished T3 at the PGA and Cink finished T18... Tiger finished T28 and shot a +18 last week... and as Meat says, Tiger has never played very well at the Ryder cup or any other match play tourney. If I'm remembering right, I'm pretty sure he was knocked out early in the last two Accenture Match Play Championships he played in.

There is his past record in the Ryder Cup to consider, though.

I say it's a tough call, but the talent is too much to pass on. Pavin will get ripped either way if it fails.

It's a moot discussion anyway as Pavin picked him... I figured he would.

Saw a graphic on SportsCenter that in the 4 Majors this year, Johnson is something like +28 and Woods is -3.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
