The Open Championship

Woods was asked Sunday at Firestone if he wanted to play in the Ryder Cup and said:

"Not playing like this, definitely not, not playing like this. I mean, I wouldn't help the team if I'm playing like this. No one would help the team if they're shooting 18-over par."

We'll know by Friday.

True but he did say today if he got that exemption he would accept it. Most likely what he said Sunday was out of his frustration..

[WebbPA]

Yes, he would have to accept the exemption.

SportsCenter already announced today after Tiger's interview that Corey Pavin said Of course ill give him the captain exemption, he's the #1 player in the world.

LA Times Poll: If Tiger Woods doesn't qualify, should Corey Pavin name him to the U.S. Ryder Cup team?

[tcco94]

Let me correct myself. Corey Pavin reported yesterday that he didnt tell Jim Gray exactly that he would be putting Tiger on the team and he has other thoughts in mind besides Tiger....then Jim Gray went on to call Pavin a liar..

Jim Gray to Corey Pavin: 'You're going down'

Gray, most recently in the news for hosting LeBron James' "The Decision" last month ...

'Nuff said.

Well Tiger starts out great but then losses a few strokes finished with a 71 (-1) and just 3 strokes back. Maybe practicing with that coach helped?

Tiger fails to make Ryder Cup team on points

Some questions were answered but others remained as Tiger Woods finished his fourth round in the 92nd PGA Championship.

Woods is still interested in playing for the United States in the Ryder Cup, but he didn't earn enough points to move from 10th into the top eight in the standings. So he's hoping American Captain Corey Pavin will make him a captain's pick.

"I think I got a chance of maybe helping out in singles," said a joking Woods, who has played in five Ryder Cups and is 3-1-1 in singles but 7-12-1 combined in foursomes and four-balls.

Edit:

You're on the team

I think Tiger showed he can still play last week. So maybe he will get that captains spot...

Just what I think, but what an end to the PGA Championship....

Rory McIlroy says he'd love to face Tiger Woods in the Ryder Cup....

[WebbPA]

McIlroy is not convinced that Woods, who failed to qualify for the Ryder Cup for the first time, deserves one of U.S. captain Corey Pavin's four wild-card picks but still expects the No. 1 golfer to be on the American team.

"There are a lot of American players playing better than him at the minute but it's always an advantage to have Tiger Woods in your team," McIlroy told the BBC. "I think he'll [Pavin] pick him. I don't think it would go down too well in the States if he wasn't picked."

Pretty smart for a kid.

If theres a year to beat Tiger, id have to say this would be the year.   ;)

[tcco94]

Tiger -6 after the first round tied for first.

What do the Tiger doubters have to say now?
