It's an exhibition event and nobody is going to get more eyeballs and more publicity for the President's Cup than Tiger Woods. It's an absolute no brainer for him to play as long as he's healthy, IMO.

I have never been excited for a Presidents' Cup, and this year won't be any different. Seriously, just give the US the W already and lets move on.

I wish he hadn't.   It would be nice to give the spot to some of the deserving rookies.

I cannot remember the last time I was this excited for a Presidents' Cup.  It may have been in 2007, but that was the first one I watched, and since I had trouble watching a lot of the previous year's Ryder Cup (my first since taking up golf), I was excited because I'd get to watch it.

I agree...but then again these rookies have plenty of time to play in future Prez Cups...Tiger doesn’t.

If they were "deserving" they would have made the team on points.

exactly - picks are in November.  If Tiger is still 8th in the world (and 5th of only americans), I wonder which rookies are more deserving......

It's a narcissistic move.  He played great for 4 days in April, but what has he done lately?  Exhibition or not, I want the United States to win.  I don't want a guy who's busy being captain having to also worry about playing well and getting points for the United States.  And why should he risk being a goat and not the G.O.A.T.?  It's time to give others a chance.

He’s still one of the top players. What four guys that didn’t qualify would you pick above him?

Plus it’s an exhibition.

Just wonder how much he can play. It seems like his back was almost day to day as the season went on. Also, don't more guys play everyday in the President's Cup vs. the Ryder Cup?

Do you really think that golfers all over the world who are watching consider it just an exhibition?  Do you think that any Captain wants his players to consider it just an exhibition?  Remember the Ryder Cup's "War on the Shore?"  They didn't call it the "Exhibition on the Shore."  These Cups are serious matches that are held every two years and I want the United States to win.  

There are definitely four other guys who I would pick over Tiger. 

I also happen to think it's unfair for any Captain to pick himself.  It's hardly fair and objective.

I ducked it on purpose because you'll never agree, so why bother?  I said what I had to say.  If Tiger plays, I will certainly be rooting for him to win every match.

So what? You have an opinion as to who might be better choices to play than Tiger. Sounds like a decent discussion. No reason to duck it. Hell for alternate shot I’d like to have Cameron Champ in there.

      2025 NFL Draft

      By saevel25 ·

      I would put money on Will having a better NFL career than Sanders. Mostly because he is a fast processor and his mental game and leadership is top notch. I think that translates better.

      Shedeur freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fallin'. I'm definitely on board with the "Shedeur is bad" takes. Am I right? Dunno.  Milroe's still there. I feel like he has way more upside than Shedeur but again, I could be wrong. He seems at least as good as Malik Willis to me though.  My physical therapist loves Will Howard but he went to Ohio State so his opinion can't really be trusted. He any good?

      I don't have one. I couldn't care much less about the draft. I don't care about sports much in the off-season: I care a little about my teams in the off-season. I'm not an NFL fan. I'm a quasi-Steelers fan.
