On the US side I guess it would be hard to not pick Tiger. He doesn't look like a good team player at the moment. He looks like a big risk factor. Tiger is a dominant player. Will he be as supportive and enthusiastic and bring the fighting spirit that Seve did when he couldn't find a fairway? Or will Tiger's dissatisfaction with his own game have a negative impact on the team spirit?
This will be interesting as it plays out. I agree that Tiger's attitude isn't great for a team, but if he hadn't been picked, could you imagine the media circus and distraction those guys would be facing? It's going to be bad with him there, but all the team would hear if he wasn't would be questions about how his absence will affect / is affecting / and did affect the team. Had to pick him. Partner him with Stricker and hope for a president's cup repeat.
I like Pavin's pick of Fowler. He's got the game, and a nice match play record in the Walker Cup and could help fire up the team in a way I don't think many others would.
