He picked Justin Thomas! JT didn't make the Fedex Cup and was picked? Why is Jordan no longer a threat to win? Why is Ricky no longer a threat to win? Captain's picks should be either just missed in ranking and playing very well, OR up and coming doing very well youngsters. . so fan favorites or do you want to win?

Why is Tiger not the captain? Stewart Cink?

Individual sports like golf doesn't make good fertile round for creating / finding team sports captains. .

But, the Ryder Cup was conceived to be a friendly golf promotion to cover up for the successful independence revolution from the mother land, when sports for mass entertainment was just beginning. The original intent is no longer needed. The exclusivity of a few, like the olympics, is a motivating force once a person participates. It's a different win, without money, means a lot for individuals and younger motivation to keep the sport alive, and create new fan favorites for future tour events . . high visibility, exclusivity, huge athletic motivations. . . just like the olympics. .

YMMV

Have to wonder whether Fowler, Spieth, or Thomas will be captain's picks if they don't otherwise qualify

funny guy that golfing eagles is!

I would think they wouldn't even be considered for vice captains, or whatever those positions are. . I think that BONES would make a great Vice Captain!

I would think the fading trio of musketeers can all sit home comfy with their wives and kids and speculate about the champions tour!

I can only offer an opinion....Tiger is a player....arguably the GOAT. What he isn't is a voyeur. Watching others play a game in a tournament setting....lije the ones hes dominated, would kill him internally. Second guess....err opinion, he doesnt want to be a prop!

That's all humans have are opinions. Points of view influence opinions as does genetics. but there are no facts. . as each human's brain just interprets the environment differently, just like every lie is unique and every day is unique.

Maybe.. but i am more on the Brian Lee side with internal politics, career/money outcomes, and versus visibility and fame/legacy, and some who like tradition because they are precedents by another name, with an excuse for failure. .

All in all, an interesting choice, and hopefully we get back to winning again. .

Now let's discuss the USMNT coach, Greg Herhalter. . the man needs to be fired like yesterday! and again, its all about the internal politics and mismanagement by empty suits in sports. .

Politics will always transcend across all genres. It’s not always about who’s the most deserving....it’s about storylines. Take WNBA....last years All Star top vote getter had about 90K votes....this year, Caitlin Clark, over 700K....even Angel Reese got 360K....both left off the USA Olympic team....because the hacks at USA basketball have to give 70 yr old Diana Taurasi her ‘flowers’ in her sixth appearance. Forget about growing and integrating the future of the program. We gotta give these Bob ‘pink eye’ Costas’ of the world a feel good nausea fest on the telecasts!

Does that meet your ‘hot take’ criteria SG!

Now you are onboard!
And in other sports hot takes, Djokovic started whining that tennis needs to be saved from the conversion to pickle ball and paddle tennis. Changes in the world are happening! And there will be more upsets later this fall. . . .

Sports-adamus!

I can think of 240M reasons why he’ll get over it rather quickly!
