Tiger Woods is apparently the best at everything. Even when he's in a (gasp!) slump, he's the best. The current speculation is who Tiger can be paired with in Alternate Shot at the Ryder Cup because he's the only one "talented" enough to get out of the trouble he gets into. Now wait a minute. There are talented golfers all over the world, professional and amateur, at least 30 who are serious contenders in any major tournament... and Tiger Woods is the only player out there good enough to get out of trouble?
I understand that he puts himself in some precarious situations out there, and there's no doubt he's a heck of a scrambler. But maybe the thing we should be looking at here is that the reason Tiger is the only one who can get out of those predicaments is because he's the only one who can get into those predicaments.
I know this will never happen, but if Tiger can't get his swing straightened out in time, perhaps Captain Sutton should consider sitting him out in the Alternate Shot. If no one else is "capable" of getting Tiger out of the trouble he gets into, he's just going to be a liability anyway.
