2025 Ryder Cup, Bethpage, NY.

So Garcia pulls out of Irish open after not getting a pick. Surprised he could play with himself so far up his own backside to swing a club. Another player I don’t miss on tour

"I felt like I was so looking forward to being a part of that team, and so I felt like mentally, you know, mentally it was kind of tough"

The delusion from the LIV apologists on social media has clearly rubbed off on Sergio. Embarrassing from him. He had absolutely zero chance of getting on the team and everyone knew it. Except him seemingly.

I think that's more than likely what he's moaning about. But it's really bad form to throw the toys out and pull out of the Irish Open like that. You'd hope that it won't help his chances of ever getting the captaincy. Some of his behaviour over the years has been shocking - like a spoilt 5 year old. Embarrassing.

With each and every passing year Harrington winning at Carnoustie and Oakland Hills age like a fine wine.

Just like his good self.

Now there is a man who should be a VC at Bethpage (T8 in 2002 USOpen).

2027 Adare…..Whos going to be captain?

Well Furyk would be perfectly correct….but i think he actually said "11 gentlemen and one little boy." - '02 Belfry RC.

Which is an even better burn.

Context.

Seve after the 91' 'War by the Shore':

“The American team has 11 nice guys and Paul Azinger.”

Wouldn’t have Padraig near the team. It’s not that players wouldn’t like him. So people are great players and just don’t make good head figures. You see it in other sports. I put Padraig in that group.

Molinari I think for 2027. Rose could have got it but this year will probably push it out

Frankie. Major winner and played a few of them. Usually meets the criteria

Basing your opinion about Harrington on what?

Everything I've seen and heard of Harrington he is as qualified as any alternative options.

I know certain golfers absolutely aren't suited to the role. Faldo, Clarke, Monty, Tiger, Stenson or Garcia. To name a few.

I don't think that's a fair basis to critique him at all. He certainly wasn't a bad captain. He was captain at a difficult time. Perhaps the most difficult in modern sporting history? Up against one of the strongest US teams ever? And In America.

8 of the 12 players at Whistling Straits were in the OWGR Top 10! And the lowest ranked member of the team….Scottie Scheffler.

Harrington had 3 picks. Solid picks. I would say you could argue that he should have benched McIlroy and Casey sooner that he did. They played terribly on the Fri and Sat.

Harrington is very friendly with JP and he will be a at a minimum VC. On Merit.

Harrington for President!

Ian Poulter's son Luke is playing in the Walker Cup this weekend. Like father, like son?

Really not getting that. What's the issue?

Unless he's capable of turning in a 58 on demand, I can't see how he wouldn't celebrate it on SM. Unless you're suggesting it's not real and he's made it up for the clicks and Luke Donald.
