    I don't think anybody's kid is going to be watching the "Ford Senior Players Tournament" in 25 years, let alone next year. And doesn't Gary Player have a pretty nice legacy despite never playing in the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup? By the time Tiger is done, nobody will give two shits about his Ryder Cup record. Tiger included. It's all about PGA Tour victories and majors. And he'll break both records.

    Monty has been eligible for the Hall of Fame off the European Tour ballot for the past two years, since he turned 40. He needs 65 percent to make it. He hasn't cracked 30 percent. The longer he goes without winning a major, the lower his percentage will get. And Sergio won't get in unless he wins a major. That's a fact.

    A very good take on the aftermatch by a British writer, which must amount to heresy over there. His point: If the Europeans won because they have more talent, why hasn't a European won a major since Paul Lawrie at the 1999 British Open?

    It'll be a blemish like Cindy Crawford's mole. If you focus on it, you'll notice it. Otherwise you see something stunning.

    I didn't see Byron Nelson's Ryder Cup record listed in the obit I read from AP.
