Alistair Tait on the press conference:

One of the ironies of this announcement was the presence of former European Tour player Gary Evans in the room as the announcement was made. Evans was most vocal in criticizing Monty for what is now known as “Jakartagate.”

Of course that incident will hardly surface over the next 18 months. The European Tour may be bad at many things, but the one thing it excels at is pulling together in the Ryder Cup.
