How will it harm the Ryder Cup ?
Top players have missed out on being picked in the past and the Ryder Cup has survived

Have got to that stage I am laughing which ever way they go, not sure I will even watch whoever they pick, starting to become a circus for me.Er...make your mind up

Did it harm the Ryder Cup when Tom Weiskopf went big-game hunting instead of playing?

You have a good memory, that was a long time ago, and he went because it was a no contest back then.

The PGA of America and the PGA tour are 2 entirely different organisations
The PGA tour don't run or pick the RC team for the US.
As for the European Team, I doubt anyone is playing well enough to get in anyway. Is Westwood even good enough to be picked for the Team he Captains?

He didn;t go
Exactly. The RC was just a bit of fun rather than a contest back then. The Seve era made it the event it is rather than a biannual curio.

I agree that the ET would only pick one LIV player possibly, that is Sergio, Rham wants him and maybe one old stall wart would help the course.
The PGA Tour don't pick the team but Zach would have to answer to them.....Would the PGA want their Champion in the team ?

Sorry I meant to say that he did not play because it was a non event.

I imagine the PGA of America would want their champion to play, yes. The PGA tour doesn't really have a champion. Except maybe The Players (and Scheffler is going).

Daly won the Open in '95 and didn't get picked for the RC....winning a Major is no guarantee

God, imagine if it was still USA v GB&I nowadays. I wouldn't rate our chances much at all!

Of course they do. It's whoever wins the East Lake Handicap next week.

I get the impression that the guys who went to liv and kept quiet would be welcomed on their respective teams. Those who sued their respective tours and / or got involved in small time point scoring on social media less so.
Its stll a very British team though. Strides have been made to widen it more in Europe, and super players have been critical, but a likely scenario this year is Rose, Hatton, McIlroy, MacIntyre, Fitzpatrick, Lowry, Fleetwood. We are still more than half the team

I'd quite like to see teams a South American Team, African Team, Asian Team and Oceania Team. Have a bit of a continental tournament every now and then

But we'd lose two of our best three players. And how low would we have to look for the 12th man? A Ryder Cup with Aaron Rai and Dale Whitnell playing?
