Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam to Euros: Come home if you want to play for me

European Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam is telling Euros to ditch their riches in America and come home to Europe, if they want to play on his team. Euros get points in two ways: from the world rankings points and from European Tour results. It’s possible a European player could get a lot of world points, but lose out on the team if he doesn’t garner enough European Tour points. “I will be speaking to them,” Woosnam told Reuters. “I want that sort of player in the team.” Imagine the American Ryder Cup captain trying to fiddle with the schedules of American players. Imagine Tom Lehman telling Tiger Woods when and where to play. It tells you a lot about the way the two respective teams approach the Ryder Cup. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad. I guess it depends on whether you’re a nationalist or materialist. Comments:

hmm, I don't agree with him telling them where to play, but you must admit that the American's cannot say anything about the way the Europeans "approach" the Ryder Cup.
.. particularly after the thrashing Europe gave US the last time.

The difference is clear - it's a team playing against 12 individuals.
Go figure...

the difference is the pga tour events garner the highest world ranking point rewards. the european tour is almost considered one step below the pga tour. but then again, they sure can clean our clocks, can't they?
