Hash words here or is this just nailed on correct? Let me know what you think and if you do enjoy the video please hit the 👍🏼 button too!
JT didn't even finish in the top 125 this year. And just think how much lower he would have been if the LIV golfers were still on tour. Doesn't deserve it. Ridiculous.
It's the captain's choice to pick the players he wants to play for the team. That's the entire reason they have captain's picks. They could not have any captain's picks and just take the top 12 players. Zach picked the players he wanted to play for team USA and you can disagree if you want but that's the way its designed. If you don't like it, complain about the format because the reason they have captain's picks is so the captain can choose who he wants lol.
Hank is trying to be relevant again. The guy doesn't seem to have a nice word for anyone, unless you're purchasing one of his many training aids, videos, software etc….Zach is the captain and as captain he can build his team as he wishes…it's his job. Current performance is one thing he looks at among many. He chose JT and would probably take him again. I feel for Keegan. People are saying JT is not deserving. Based on what-performance over the past 9 months. Alex is right on, he is very good in Europe, one of the best in Ryder Cups and an outstanding teammate. I'll bet the guys on the team are not complaining about Thomas.
I agree with Hank Haney, Coom ba ya man
I couldn't really care less whether JT's on the team or not, but F— Hank Haney. The jerkoff should keep his mouth shut if he has nothing nice to say.
JT's character seems weak to me.
Europium wins. Oh, the PGA and Players. Europium soil? Face it, Tiger wanted JT, and he’s the real Captain.
It is not a question of past performance,it's current that matters for coming tournaments. It's like a general picking wounded soldiers for war.
Hank Haney is an over priced, overrated, over the hill infomercial clown. The guy rode the Tiger train as long as he could before he got fired. He had Ray Ramano on a show and Ray, after all Hank's lame lessons, got worse. This guy is touted as a great teacher? He sucks. If you can't improve an amatuer's swing, you suck. Tiger, is Tiger. He's gonna win with his mom coaching him. Just thank God Hank got fired before he crippled El Tigre. And if you ever played golf a ton, maybe tried to get on tour, played mini tour stuff, qualifiers, etc…the one thing you notice is certain times of the year, you play your best. Well guess what time JT plays his best? Ryder Cup time. His record speaks for itself. He qualifiee on that record period. He don't need a "boys club" to be on that team. He deserves it. And America is lucky to have him. Hank is an idiot. Give zero credit to that clown please. And JT go play ur best. Golf is hard and if we happen to lose, that's just the way it goes. They are good as well. Rome baby!!! How cool is this gonna be. Good luck everyone.
Hank Haney is right per usual
JT is a welfare pick instead of Spieth or JT. You could’ve had Lucas or Keegan Bradley both who had two wins this year the USA always goes for the roar… it’s unfortunate. That wins don’t qualify you to make the team.
Your soooo PGA! One thing you need to realize is that JT is a great player, but he hasn’t earned that right to be apart of that team. LIV PLAYERS HAVE!! Wow, how can you dismiss that! TAYLOR GOOCH HAS EARNED THAT RIGHT!!! You and every other Podcast guy’s need to realize that the PGA has BENT THE KNEE TO LIV!!! The PGA is NO MORE! Wow. So blind on what has happened! And YES IS LIV! Not the PIF! PIF created LIV to end the PGA! You guys live in in some other world! Go LIV!
100% a boys club like every other sport, game or skill. They don't use data to make decisions. They make the decision then try to validate with data (that they never show).
Team chemistry is admittedly an intangible factor, but there is no arguing with the fact that it is immensely important. Honestly, if someone is just not vibing with the other guys, it brings the team down emotionally (which is why Koepka was a surprise, he seems like a bit of a douchebag) so “boys club” or not, you want people around you who will drive team chemistry, be fun to play with, and have a positive never-say-die attitude.
Remember, we’re not on the inside seeing the data nor are we in the locker room before and after tourney rounds, so we don’t know what ZJ does.
I’m going to miss DJ and Bryson on the team, but I’ll be pulling hard for our boys!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If your talking about formidable partnerships then they should of added DJ to play with Morikawa. Unbeatable last Ryder Cup.
Still just in shock that Bryson won’t be there probably the best team/match play golfer in the world
It’s not who you know but who you blow JT blows tiger that’s why he’s in
I don’t agree with the JT pick but I think most people think he has lost his swing like your buddies on a sunday warming up. This is obviously not the case, the guy still stripes it and has a great short game. He can snap back into form anytime. Stil a terrible pick for USA but it is matchplay, anything can happen.
I like JT , but he's been losing his game and has a lot of work to do. Bradley has been coming on strong as of late. I don't know, let's see how it turns out
🚨🚨🚨 Who can’t and doesn’t love JT but talk about favoritism in substitute of merit!!!!To give JT the spot over Keegan Bradley or Lucas Glover, just to drop two more worthy names over JT, shows how the selection system may have issues.
I mean Keegan Bradley, by all accounts, “showed up” every week he played on tour this year. Definitely 1 of the better consistent golfers on tour this year. Week in week out. Plus he is a Ryder Cup fanatic to put it lightly. So I feel terrible for him.
Then you have Lucas Glover. A PGA journeyman. Who played lights out and won back to back PGA events in the latter years of his professional career. That’s INSANE ! Also, if you look into his season, he played really well every event he was in and placed high enough to stand out. Especially being that old playing against younger stronger talent. I feel really bad for him too.
I can’t imagine what those 2 feel like right now and they have every right to feel slighted. To feel sour and to feel angry at how this played out.
Lastly, I gotta say I’m still waiting for the year Kevin Kisner gets the nod because even though he doesn’t have length in his game and doesn’t hit a far ball he is built for an event like the Ryder Cup. A good ole super proud American boy. 🚨🚨🚨
I am all for Thomas for being picked. Let's face it any edge that Europe can get has got to be a good thing. His form this season has been let's be kind here, not good. 😂.
What a problem to have! The US could, conceivably pick two teams
"time to recoup his game????" he should have tried that this year, I'm sure bones' bank account would have liked it. hey, maybe scottie will fix his putting game this weekend, no problemo.
It's matchplay, not stroke, these guys get it, and they are not trying to make the cut, or improve their bank balance, they know how to fight!
To make your podcast more impactful, it's important to take a clear stance on the topics you discuss. Instead of sitting on the fence, try forming your own opinions and presenting them confidently to your audience. This will give your podcast a unique perspective and make it more engaging for your listeners.
As soon as captains picks get put up to 6 then it's even a larger talking point for both sets of supporters. That's good for us but the loosing captain will take a right kicking. Fancy leaving out Bryson DeChambeau you plank if the USA don't win or what a fantastic Captain if they win. That's the nature of leading your team. Looking forward to a spectacular tournament in Rome. Come on EUROPE ⛳🏌♀
I think JT and Jordan could be the worst performing pairing this time. Neither have really been on form. Both have been having putting woes. Both have big misses with the driver. They are obviously world class players but if they are both on an off day, it could be bad.
I think Justin Thomas is an excellent selection Hei'll do the team proud.
I think all three of the ones you mentioned could have been ahead of JT. However, it is Zach Johnson’s job and he will have to live with the results. JT will be fine. As for Haney having coached TW, a monkey could have coached Tiger.
Hope JT likes pressure – if he fails in Italy it’ll be spoken about for a looooooong time.
Zach just gave Europe the Ryder cup. ..no way JT FOWLER NOR SPIETH should be in team🤔🧐🤨huge mistake to leave out current form of Glover…gonna miss DJ BRYSON REED⛳⛳⛳👍👍👍🤔🧐🤨
Why risk it with Thomas? If USA loses and Thomas play as bad as he has done this season he will get so much bashing. Why risk that? Wouldnt it be better to pick someone deserving of the spot? The picking players who has good chemistry/bonding thing is just an excuse. Look at Europe, they bond no matter who is on the team. If the American players cant bond without being part of a click maybe there is something wrong with their attitude. They should be able to bond with new players/people too. They are all American and play for the same goal.
To use excuses like Glover has never played Ryder cup before is laughable. Guess what, everyone is a rookie one time and if you use that argument no one can ever get experience at anything. JT, Spieth, Fowler, Koepka etc all where Rydr cup rookies at one time. Glover may only have this one chance to play Ryder cup because of his age and because there are so many Americans to compete with for a spot. Zach Johnson took that once-in-a-lifetime chance away from him when he deserved it. He also picked Burns because he is best friends with Scheffler. Is it so that he can hold Schefflers hands?
This guy drives me nuts, he never gets to the point of his videos till near the end, every headline to any future videos must be at the start of the video, or people are going to get fed up, i am getting that was myself, just a gentle dig,HURRY UP,
As you said who better to match up with Spieth!
Hank 100% correct ….
Other players playing better at this time , sure , as much Ryder Cup experience as Thomas. kinda doubt it , think it's just Haney trying to keep his name in the news , as he hasn't done ANYTHING since Woods dropped him , its all about him trying to sell his brand which folks aren't buying into these days
I thought if he picked Speith he'd pick Thomas for the pairing based on past record.
But this has the potential to blow up big time.
I wouldn't say either of them are on form right now so could be a disaster.
Ryder cup is a bit unusual so only time will tell.
He has been picked by captain so very unfair for everyone to pick on him like that. I think for a team to work well they have to blend with each other, call it a boys club if u like but it make the whole team atmosphere electrifying. As for hank ,he should stick to his annoying online lesson hussle and leave the real golfers to theie game.
I guess Tiger's coach is tired of doing infomercials for $$$$
Bryson goes 61 followed by a 58 and crickets! PGA fix is in!
Records don't mean anything today, it's what your current state of game is. Hoping he'll get better is a stupid concept.
Haney yesterday's man Another coach bumping his gums
Zach outted himself if analytics was used JT would never have gotten a look. JT's record was built years ago and we have seen countless examples of golfers who played exceptional golf then a few years later couldn't make a cut that's JT. As for Haney;s comments it was over the top we all know its a poor pick and the boys club is obvious. This could have been avoided if JT told Zach he's out
