If I thought Anthony Kim was healthy enough, I'd just go right down the list and take 9-12 on the standings. However, I think you have to pass on AK. I probably go with:

Lucas Glover
Tiger Woods
Zach Johnson

Then I may jump all the way down the list and grab Kenny Perry.

My equipment:

Driver - Callaway FT3 Fusion (9 degree)
3 Wood - Orlimar Tri-Metal (9 degree)
Hybrids - Bobby Jones (17, 21 & 25 degree)

Irons - KZG XCB 5 - PW

Wedges - Warrior (52 & 56 degree)

Putter - STX Envision

Ball of choice - Callaway TOUR i(s)

Tiger Woods
Zach Johnson
Stewart Cink or Scott Verplank
Anthony Kim if fit.....or JB Holmes

Too many rookies already will rule out Rickie Fowler and Sean O'Hair I think.

I'm going for cool names as my secret sauce, so I'll pick:

Vance Veazey
Spike McRoy
Tag Ridings

Then it's probably a toss-up between Willie Wood and Tiger Woods. Tiger already has a wood willie, as we know, so maybe that's a twofer.

AK assuming he will be 100% by then since his whole plan was to get back in time for the Ryder Cup.
Tiger without a doubt.
Zach Johnson as my third. He's one of the most consistent guys on tour.

I'd pick Zach Johnson, Rickie Fowler, AK, and Tiger.

That's who I'd like too see but I reckon the amount of rookies already qualified might rule out Fowler and Pavin will pick Cink instead, Cink has a good record and is the sort of hard to beat competitor you need.

I put him on my list just because I want to see a really passionate young feel player out there on a big stage. I bet he's clutch!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
