If Tom Watson Is Still Considering Tiger Woods After All This Then He’s Picking Him, Right?

Doug Ferguson breaks down Tom Watson's comments from Monday after the PGA and it sounds like the Team USA Ryder Cup Captain is going to take Tiger Woods to Gleneagles unless he hears otherwise from the prospective pick.

Ferguson writes:

"I can't assess his medical condition and I honestly can't assess how he's playing," Watson said. "It really is going to be having to come from information from Tiger himself. But, again, I don't make this comment loosely. He is Tiger Woods and he brings a lot to the team — if he has the ability to play and he's healthy. He brings a lot to the team. And I'd be a fool not to consider him."

He might not be a fool, but considering Woods has not come close to fulfilling Watson's pre-requisite of playing well and appearing healthy, might this reveal that he had planned to take Woods all along? The comments from Watson today sounded much more open to Woods than he did just last week after Tiger had to leave Firestone Sunday before finishing.
