Par4QC The 'clique'.

From the article, it appears Bible thumpers and buddies trump all, and only the Top 6 automatics have a say, which will keep that wheel spinning.
Nothing will change anytime soon, unless they pick a captain with some balls.

      Spuzz unless they pick a captain with some balls.

      Does that leave Stewart out.....he some problems with them a few years ago.
      And, they just set him up for '25.

          Par4QC Does that leave Stewart out

          Yes.
          I checked the Ryder Cup playing records of all the "management" and lo and behold, every one of them has a losing record except for Zach and he's barely above .500.
          Might explain why they picked guys with losing records on this team?
          Do losers recognize game? or is this all about hanging out with like minded people?
          LOL

              So, that means TW is up in '25. 😄

                johnnydoom I'm cynical, but I think the tour sponsors have great sway in helping the captain make his picks.

                This is more believable than buying into first timers Clark and Harman having any say whatsoever.

                  😲🤔

                    Scene from the team room, right after the RC. Somehow, Keegan slipped in.......

                    Zach ends up back home. 🤣

                      Harman to Management:
                      Can you share your secrets on dealing with RC adversity?

                        Sneakylong whole heartedly agree. Thomas was a weak pick. ZJ must be thinking he will find something being on the team. It would have been a tough choice between Glover and Bradley over JT/or for the last spot, as well as to pick both and leave out Spieth. IMO Spieth and JT go together/were a package deal.

                            ode Prolly true, but Speith has been unreliable, too.

                            Bryson and Bradley, Glover and Bradley, or Glover and Bryson, are all superior to Speith and Thomas, imo.

                              Maybe they are biased against people who use strange putters. That’s probably it.

                              ode He went chalk and is a gutless twat

                              When the original "born to do this" guy had poor form (Sergio), they made him a vice captain.
                              That's what should have been done with JT this year. Easy call.

                                    Technically true - the European team will also have 12 players... 😉

                                        MartinD I did highlight/boldface the part I thought was very humorous!!

                                        No one in their right mind is thinking this to be 'equally strong'!!

                                        If I'm proven wrong, so be it and congrats to us. I get no money either way. 🤔They've never paid me for anything.
                                        I should be ashamed saying that as they are just doing it 'for our/my country' & no money.
