You have to hand it to Presidents Cup Captain Fred Couples and his early decision to select Tiger as one of his two Captain’s picks. By saying Tiger has already locked up a spot allows everyone to board the Tiger-hate train for a couple of days, a week at the most, and by the time the Presidents Cup rolls around everyone will have forgotten how unfair this pick was, right?

“There is no reason for me to wait till Sept. 26 to pick Tiger. He’s the best player in the world forever. Is he playing well right now? No. (But) he almost won (The Masters) four months ago so you don’t do that by playing poor golf,” Couples said. “In my opinion, when you’re the best player in the world for 12 straight years and you’re not on a team, there’s something wrong.”

It really was a lose-lose situation for the former Masters champ, I mean you pick Tiger and people say, “why did you pick Tiger?” Or, you don’t pick Tiger and people say, “why didn’t you pick Tiger?” Whether you’re a Tiger fan or not, the Presidents Cup is a much bigger and exciting spectacle with the 14-time major champ in the field.
