Subject: New US Ryder cup point system

http://www.bunkershot.com/2006_index.cfm?ID=3557&local=
"The new points system will begin with golf's four major championships
in 2007 and resume Jan. 1 through Aug. 11, 2008.
The points will be based upon the following:
* Prize money earned in the 2007 major championships
(Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship -
one point for every $1,000 earned).
* Prize money earned in "official events" in 2008 from Jan. 1
through Aug. 11 (one point for every $1,000 earned, excluding
the major championships and events played opposite major
championships and opposite World Golf Championships).
* Prize money earned in the 2008 major championships (Masters,
U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship (two points for every
$1,000 earned)
* Prize money earned in 2008 events played opposite the major
championships and opposite World Golf Championship events
between Jan. 1 and Aug. 11 (one-half point for every $1,000 earned)."
Also, and here's probably the slightly bigger shocker:
"The increase to four Captain's picks reflects the changing face of
tournament golf in America with more international players playing
here and more Americans playing around the world"
Azinger is gonna get to pick 4 guys. Wanna bet they'll all be
young guns?

Pathetic. I say let all 12 people play their way onto the team.
Under this system Davis Love will play until he's 90.
What American Ryder Cup possible players are playing overseas?
Give me a break.

We have no guess as to what "the most awfy guid" means. We give up. Please
let us know the English translation.

I fail to see the reason why they believe Major performances will
produce more competitive golfers. Look at the European players
'success' in the majors....

And what is the rationale that 'younger' players will be more successful
?

Where's the evidence that "more Americans playing around the world?"
I guess it must be Kevin Stadler in Australia next week.

Looks like the 18th at Muirfield, where Azinger choked to Faldo.

A satement from Bob Harig's article on Espn's site
http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/columns/story?columnist=harig_bob&id=2651414
made me chuckle a bit:
"In other words, Tiger Woods has not locked up a spot on the 2008 squad
-- yet."
If (that's a big IF) Tiger doesn't get into the top money list for 2007
and 2008, then I'm doubly sure Azinger will pick him because of Tiger's
nature to be competitive. There's still the question of who he should
be paired with, but at least there is an obvious choice. There's just
no way they gonna pass Tiger up.
