How much prep do they need? They play golf every weekend for basically the entire year. Only difference would be that a bunch of them would have to go play more golf 2 weeks after the season ended. Its not like any of them are preparing for the Ryder Cup unitl the season ends anyway (unless you are half the guys on team USA who were eliminated from the playoffs before it ended).

I'd like to see the best guys go and it doesn't make sense to make that determination 2-3 weeks before the season ends, especially since those last few weeks are composed of some of the biggest tournaments on the tour. if the team was picked today I'm sure we can all agree that Horschel would be a sure thing. My only point is that as bad as our team is it really sucks that the guy playing better than anyone isn't even going to be there.

I see Adam Scott and Steve Williams have parted ways so I wonder who will be carrying his bag next year.

Williams had said this was his last year caddying, I think he has enough coin to do whatever the hell he wants.
