    Tiger has few "big" Ryder Cup moments; has probably been a very poor teammate over the years. Nah pass. Go with a youngster, Bryson!!

    I love Bryson, but only Tiger's pouting with Phil in 2004 is a RC moment I'd blame on him. Again, he once made seven birdies and no bogeys in a match with Stricker (who made nothing) and "lost" because Colesartes made eight birdies and an eagle. His "losses" are not all on him. He's been one of our leading point getters in every cup he's played in. The whole US history is not great. That's not on him.

    Will be in Monterey, Calif., next week for work. Is it worth trying to play one of the many courses out there?

    Tiger isn't getting picked. But I still think he should get picked. Legitimately. And when he comes out and plays well at the Safeway (especially if we lose the RC again) everyone will be like "What the hell?"

    Bubba is guaranteed to have some kind of emotional snit fit during the RC. Whether it costs the US one match or four matches is YTBD.

    Not everyone. Tiger's done nothing to earn a spot on the team. If he's named, I doubt I watch, and I've been looking forward to the RC all summer.

    I have an idea for the Fed Ex Cup, and one that I think would go over pretty good.
    For winning the Fed Ex Cup, they give you a 10 million dollar tax free retirement....no....fuck that.
    Put 10 million in cash right there off to the right on the first tee. Have 3 or 4 guards around it so no one gets stupid.......
    Here ya go boys.......this is what you're playing for......go get it.
    Would get some attention.

    You've been watching too much World Series of Poker, haha.

    For me, the $10 million would carry more weight if the next four finishers in points didn't ALSO get a million or more. It's just such an insanely bloated prize pool.

    True. Total prize pool is 35 million. That's a lot of tokens.
