You need a captain and yes it matters.
This.

No I'm not. There's hardly enough of a sample size for pretty much any golfer to have their record be statistically significant in the ryder cup.
Golf is a highly random game.

Yes, given that 80% of the possible matches are in a team format.
Pick any captain you want. Europe will beat them again at Hazeltine in two years. Europe has better players right now...and, more importantly...players with a hell of a lot better attitude. The American players, in many cases, are fat with cash, self-centered, smug, and don't seem to care a hell of a lot about the whole thing. Losing....again....didn't seem to bother several of them very much.
May want to check out $$$ won by the Euro team bob, not exactly standing in line at the soup kitchen themselves.
Ricky Fowler is starting to build up some serious scar tissue with all the almost finishes he has had. He might be in the early stages of Luke Donald disease.
I've done a complete 180 on Tiger being a captains pick after this. If he is even remotely healthy you have to put him on the team. We lack any sort of intimidation factor. You think the euros get nervous when they look over and see Matt Kuchar or Zachary Johnson or Webb Simpson? We can't win with nice guys. We need a few more dickheads like Reed.
Compared to what?
Let's say everyone is healthy/not suspended in January 2015, and there is another Ryder Cup that month, who is your team? Here's mine...in no order.
Reed
Spieth
Walker
Mahan
Horschel
Fowler
D. Johnson
Dufner
Z. Johnson
Woods
Kuchar
Bradley
One of the many disappointments this weekend was that Sergio wasn't an ass. I thought I would start hating him again.

Wait, so bkf hates the Army-Navy game because he's anti-patriotism, he roots against the U.S. in the RC because he thinks golf is more of an individual game, yet he's mad the U.S. players are self centered? Just dizzying inconsistencies.
Not sure how a comparison to other sports matters.
What are you saying makes it so random then? Just the small difference between the top players in the world?
