Watson Wonders Out Loud About Having Captain's Picks At All

The Ryder Cup captains held a pre-Cup press conference just days before the start of the...Presidents Cup.

The "news" out of this entirely unnecessary one-year-in-advance event from Scotland?

Tom Watson really doesn't think much of captain's picks. Ryan Lavner reports:

Speaking at the Year-To-Go event at Gleneagles, Watson told reporters that perhaps the U.S. team should go back to having zero captain’s picks, which would be the “purest form” of the event.

“Maybe that’s the way we should go back to,” Watson said. “I reduced my picks from four to three, and was thinking actually two because I wanted the players who were playing to get on the team to have that as a goal. And if they got there, then they’ve earned something very, very special. Maybe we should go back to that.”
