Per Jason Sobel


I have no idea how to feel about this. It’s a shame Phil doesn’t have a great relationship with some of the players anymore because I feel like he would have been perfect for Bethpage.

Relationships with players didn't prove too well for Zach last year.

Keegs should do a good job with captains selections because he shouldn't be too biased which is ironically what kept him off the team last year in the first place.

Kind of an odd choice. Felt bad he didn't get selected last go around because I think he earned it over some of the boys club that were selected.

I'm sure he's going to try and be a player captain. Seems pretty young to be captain as well. My memory isn't good enough to remember most of the captains but have there been other captains this young?

Phil dug his own grave but it is ashamed they can't get passed it all for the sake of the Ryder Cup. Keegan is meh. You think Tiger looked at it and said no thanks b/c we are going to get waxed this time? no reason to think we aren't.

What? We’ve been pretty dominant on American soil for the most part recently.

Weird choice. He’s been on two whole Ryder cup teams & lost to Europe both times

We know why they won’t ask Phil

Means absolutely nothing. Steve stricker sucked cock as a Ryder cup player and whipped europes arse as a captain. Was 3-7-1 as a player and his teams were 1-2

Keegan actually is a good Ryder cup player though. And he isn’t in the “boys club”. It’s as good as pick as any but truthfully it doesn’t matter

Was chosen based off of already being a captain for 2017 presidents cup.

I guess we’ll wait & see how it works for Keegan. It’s a very weird choice

Just pointing out your teams record as a player means nothing

Weird how he never won a major and spent 250 weeks in the world top 10 at one point.

Good answer, Paul. I'm arguing against Keegan being chosen. Not sure what point you're trying to make

I'm still wondering why they skipped over David Toms.

Does Toms want it?

My guess is this is in response to some of the names picked at Marco Simone. Keegan isn’t going to put Rickie and JT on the team just because. Especially with some of the young studs popping up on tour who could be playing really high level golf by 2025.

Didn't think about Toms. Does seem odd that he hasn't gotten a shot.

Only thing I could find online. Not surprising...

Former PGA champion David Toms was overlooked as a Ryder Cup captain, just like another PGA champion, Larry Nelson, was before him. Toms, however, has never been an assistant at either of the cups, leading to speculation that he’s not part of the club.


Really is unfortunate how much the boys club plays a part. Though the Bradley selection almost seems like they are making up for that with how bad Full Swing made them look.

Definitely. Keegan going after the W instead of having a buddies trip.

Zach Johnson should have his citizenship revoked for 2023.

Tom’s is pretty damn busy. You don’t just show up one week for these things. I think there is a chance he never fully went all in on truly wanting to be a part of “the club”

So over blown. Let’s look at the records of some of the guys that auto made it or were consensus captains picks with zero controversy

Scottie

0-2-1

Xander

1-3-0

Morikowa

1-3-0

I’ll say we will never win a Ryder cup regardless of how awesome the captain is with those dudes going a combined 2-8-1
