tiger - played 2 lost 2 ..still early days in the presidents cup but surely couples would have been better pickin someone like keegan bradely rather than tiger ..or was he bullied into the pick by tv /ticket sales or his management company etc - ur views !
 
Didn't see much of Thursdays play but from what I saw he was playing decent stuff Friday. Just the other guys played better.

Interested to see how he plays over the weekend. I see he is playing foursomes with DJ
 
Difficult to gauge in matchplay as you always take on risky shots and if they don't come off you look foolish. He doesn't look a million miles away from playing top quality again. I think the singles matchplay may be a better barometer
 
Woods was pretty decent tbh, watched it earlier on sky+ and he was pretty handy around the greens and not massively wild off the tee

I think although the USA are ahead a few of them have really struggled in general so Tiger for me is holding his own despite the 2 losses

If Couples had picked someone other than Tiger, half of the people who are now watching it on TV would be watching something else... myself included.
 
i'd be watching regardless of whether tiger was playing or not but i am chuffed he is playing.

he has played quite well but it's a team game and if your partner is not upto scratch then what can you do?

he finally got a point with the morning foursomes so maybe that will get the momentum on his side for the afternoon fourball.
 
Another point in the Foresomes for Tiger & Johnson. Not looking like such a bad pick now. Will be interesting to see how he goes in the singles
 
I agree the sceptics will win and Boom Boom will say the usual that everybody contributed but imagine how Keegan Bradley must feel given that he has won a major and wasn't selected. Maybe Freddie has something against those hideous long putters :)

Even with a singles win it was hardly a glittering captains endorsement. Much done to rehabitate him into playing again perhaps and to give the Presidents Cup a bit of credence and publicity which must be waning as the US keep winning in the same way the RC lost its sparkle until it switched to Europe v US
