If you were Captain and Tiger was back who would you pick to play him? There seems to be more guys capable of taking a quid off him in the European ranks these days but who would be your best bet?

After yesterday it would be Martin Kaymer as he remained unflustered even when he went behind is a big hitter and an excellent putter!

Totally Agree. He has the game and personality to cope with Tiger. I don't believe the circus that would undoubtedly follow Tiger would bother him and I can see him being a star performer both in the Ryder Cup and in the Majors and WGC events this season.
 
I think Westwood or Rory if they are playing well because they are exciting golfers when they are at there best and IMO that is what is needed to beat Tiger.
 
Just have a few bikini clad babes walk along side Tigers match and I'm confident I'll take him!!!!
 
I would play my weakest player.....lamb to the slaughter,why play your strongest man against theirs and give away a valuable point?

Listen to me, you know it makes sense...I didn't get my title for nothing. ;)
 
Blind draw so whats the point in this meaningless thread?! :D

You can usually sus out what the lie of the land is and get a wee idea of who will be where or at least I can.....that's why Monty has been on the blower to pick my brains... ;) ;)
 
A shot phone call then. Did you even get to pick it up before he rang off?

:D :D
It was a 2 shot phone call Murph.Unfortunatley I am busy at the start of October so it looks like McGinley will need to help him out....I'm busy masterminding Scotlands retaining of the GM Ryder Cup. ;)

serious question (unusual I know) - how do you handle the player who is being fed to the lions each time? must be demoralising for him.
 
There wont be weak player in the team however I don't think Rory is ready for Tiger yet,at least not in the Ryder cup. Poults hasn't got the killer game yet and Westwood needs to bed those new irons in a bit.
 
You tell him that you think he is great and has the ability to take the star man....go out and prove yourself...he gets tanked it is expected,he wins everything is superb! ;)
 
Sorry to be a defeatest but its pointless debating he wont be there his wife wont let him,when its on he will be doing the hoovering and washing the dishes,then she will put him into bed by nine in the spare room.
