Azinger to be Named Ryder Cup Captain

will it actually matter though?
 

Interesting.  I didn't see this earlier that Azinger will get 4 captain's picks.  Probably still won't matter, though.

Take a look at the top 50 players in the world rankings.  I know this doesn't match the criteria used for team selection but, seriously, if you had to take the top twelve for each team who'd you rather captain?

Europe (and the rest of the world for that matter) are better and deeper than the United States.  The States has the best player in the solar system and probably the better top three but after that, forget it.
