They were both doing nothing in those rounds in my opinion.
True. But they were playing their rounds with someone who couldn't miss, we all know what that's like.

But you have to play better. You can't go 0-3-1 in the previous Ryder Cup, then not play pretty much the whole year and still expect to get a captains pick.True. But they were playing their rounds with someone who couldn't miss, we all know what that's like.

True, but since those 5 wins he has had Back Surgery and done much of nothing.Wait.
Since that Ryder Cup, the dude does in fact have 5 wins. Its not like he went winless then did nothing.

What other kind of answers are there. A question is asked and people answer with their opinion and then those opinions are further debated in conversation. This is part of what the forum is for. For debate and conversing and includes both facts and opinions. Only when one may get personal does it then become problematic. I'm not really following your point.
With Tiger its different. You see it here clearly. This is as much a referendum on how much people like Tiger (or not) as it is a debate over the logic of a potential pick. You can see it in the absurdity of some of the arguments for both sides. Every Tiger thread I've seen on here since I was a lurker is, generally, the same.

To his defense, one loss was after the cup had already been clinched.
Another loss, opponent shoots 63 on his own ball and Stricker was pretty much doing nothing.
And in that time, the guy you were saying should be chosen, has how many wins?
I dont have a side here, because I think the debate is fairly meaningless since there is still plenty of time, but I think some have very short memories.
So 0-3-1 last Ryder cup with the super team of stricker/woods everyone talked about. How do we know the same thing isn't going to happen again? It's not as if Kuchar is playing stellar golf either.
The problem with sports in general is people let feelings get in the way of reason a lot.
I was simply saying a name. I wasn't actually saying Koepka should get the nod. But he is ahead of Tiger in the Ryder Cup points, fed ex points, competitive rounds, etc. I just find the idea of Tiger getting the nod for the simple reason of being Tiger ridiculous. Honestly I think I would like to see Tom Watson competing over Tiger this Ryder Cup. There are some TV ratings for you right thereAnd in that time, the guy you were saying should be chosen, has how many wins?

But he longer is number 1, hasn't had a top 10 in his last 10 events or so, he's had back surgery, and he's still working on his new swing. Yep that sounds like a winning combination. But hey we don't know he could easily win The Bridgestone for like the 10th time, he could be in contention at the PGA, we don't know. But asking right now and to get any other answer than No is ridiculous.Okay so instead of saying "Because he is Tiger", assume everybody says "Just a few months ago he was #1 in the world and he has won 5 times since the last Ryder Cup".
Nobody can say they have the same resume.

I dont think that is what is happening here at all. I think people look for it, but its just not here. People are having a well thought out debate about a guy that might be the best ever, that is struggling in a Ryder Cup year.
Your definition of well thought out is pretty loose.
Ummm. Not sure I would go that route, and every thread has some quick posts, but I think you are looking for things that are not here. It happens to everybody as they join in on the fun at THP. They are used to ways seen at other places and assume it will be the same here.
