Ryder Cup 2025

I honestly used to watch golf ALL THE TIME. I would make TV Package choices cause I had to have golf channel.

I rarely, if ever, watch now. It's been years. Some was the decline of Tiger and Phil and that group in my cohort. But then learning more of the politics of those guys and how disgustingly conservative they are....just turned me off

To be honest I don't pay any attention to the politics of athletes or actors, one way or the other. I wouldn't turn to them for any advice outside their field, so it's been pretty easy for me to block that out.

I'm just pulling for Team Charlie cause that's how I roll in most sporting events (I do kinda pull for the US in FIFA soccer).

Sitting the #1 player in the world tomorrow morning is a tough call for a rookie Captain but it needs to be done. Let's see if he has the sack.

Almost all the Ryder cup captains are rookies. They really do tend to pass it around the last 50 years or so. Jack went twice, Davis Love went twice and I think maybe Tom Watson went twice. So almost all of them are rookies that have to make big decisions.

Same. Golf is boring. That era was exciting even before Tiger but he turned it to 11. Then Elin found out he was a cheetah and while the goodtimes rolled for a few more years, they finally ran out of gas. BUT from 1994/95-2015 it was electrifying. Sure there were a few moments that had the "spark" but if you looked away it was gone faster than a fart in the wind. However, I would still watch the majors (or at least the Masters and The Open) but even those I haven't watched in a couple of years because they decided to capitulate to the Saudis and take $ from them. After they went from "we don't want anything to do with their blood money" to "Uhhh....sure....yeah, we'd be happy to take your money so you'll stop taking our good players." I was done. To be clear, I don't blame those who joined the LIV because I sure as shit would if someone threw that much $ at me to play golf.

I will say the one HUGE benefit is that I no longer had to watch Phil Mick flash his fake smile because everyone finally realized how much of a super prick Phil Mick is IRL.

Oh...and fuck the Ryder & President's Cups. Both are awful and have been for awhile. The decline started when GB lost like 4-5 in a row and threw a temper tantrum and said they'd pull out of all future Ryder Cups if the rest of Europe wasn't allowed to join them. The President's Cup has and will always be the unwanted bastard child of those team-up events.
