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.

      Unsustainable

      It's not sustainable,  although he deserve credit for the win also, as he made clutch plays as he does with every win we have.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      As much as I would love to sit here and bash on Young.  I can't.   He is absolutely a part of this team winning.  He is the cool hand leading the offense along with the hammer, Rico.  He's making plays on 3rd and 4th downs, that are absolutely helping thus team win.  Is Bryce playing as well as we'd like? Nope. Although he had only 1 week off from a high ankle sprain.   No question he was 100% in the Greenbay game.  I'm not even sure where the team would find a clear upgrade over Byrce.  He is a leader.  In the 4th quarter, he has ice in his veins.  He is a part of why our team is enjoyable to watch again.  Without him, we wouldn't be winning.    Anyways.  Y'all enjoy yet another thread designed to tear down the man.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
