   I’m not sure Monty not picking him in 2010 is as much a factor as the article seems to suggest. After all Monty isn’t the captain next year and as a gesture it’d be pretty empty to take it out on Darren Clarke. It’s far more likely that Paul sees that he hasn’t much time left in his career and he has suffered with injury that could still come back and end it prematurely. Since he’s playing well on the PGA tour, now’s the time to capitalise on that form and do as well as possible while he still has time. To me it’s a pragmatic decision that has almost nothing to do with his past experiences.

   Golf is JUST a game. Playing the R Cup probably costs PC more money than staying at home to play ball with the wife and bub + it is a better game when you want to be a father rather than a party animal chasing “Glory” for continental Europe, which is the place NOT TO BE at present,( which is inescapable if you play the European Tour). Besides that, the ruling is somewhat dumb because on this case, it has provided the perfect dis incentive to play.

   All you twits that don’t get the rules about Ryder Cup selection for Europe need to grow a brain. The European Tour is a business just like every golf tour in the world. You think it’s ok that a guy that plays for Europe doesn’t have to play on the European Tour? Get with it fools. Even without the membership requirement, who says they wouldn’t want to play on the European Tour. Seems to be providing them the best preparation to win the Ryder Cup in recent times, doesn’t it?

     I guess people thinks it’s odd because the competition is between Europe and the US? And not between the US tour and the European Tour. The European tour is also played all over the world these days, how “european” is that? Citizenship should count, not where you play your golf. Of course the European Tour likes the current situation, I don’t think ANYBODY don’t know why, but the point is, is it RIGHT?

     The Ryder Cup isn’t the PGA Tour vs. European Tour, it’s the best players born in Europe vs the best players born in America. Golf is now a global game and the tour which these players chose to play on full-time should be of no consequence when trying to qualify to make the team.

   I actually didn’t know you had to be a memebr of the European Tour to be considered for the Ryder Cup. Sounds idiotic, it should be your citizenship that counts, not where you play.

   A lot of Euro players would kill to be in the Ryder Cup. Casey thinks otherwise but for the right reasons…

   I thought the Ryder cup was America vs Europe. I wasn’t aware it was pga tour vs European tour. I dont understand why those rules are in place, really limits talent.

     All the “Euros” live in Florida and play the US tour full time. The whole thing doesn’t make sense any more. Rory is much more liked than Bubba in the US and even as an American I’d pull for Rory in a match with bubba…

    It is refreshing to see a player putting his family and HIS career first which affects his family too. My hat is off to him on doing that. Yep I personally think Monte snubbed him that year when he was not picked
