  The WGT Ryder Cup 2012 Captain's picks will be officially announced this evening. I will not give any statements on posts until then, but please keep this thread clean and fair. Every decision will have a well-thought-of reason and the captain's picks have absolutely no further rules. Everybody who will be not too happy about the decision this evening should consider to sign-up for captain themselves next year =)

  Cheers, Hans

  ROW captain picks have been chosen and sent in, this was not a easy decision to make and required the help of my team in the end i couldn't bring my self to choose between certain players.....

  so i proposed a list of players and the players who made the cut voted the result was super tight nothing in it at all, and i know there will be some unhappy faces

  It was the same way here. I was on a Skype call trying to figure out this thing. My picks were sent in, and I'm ready to roll! I want to wish good luck for Team ROW so this can be the best WGT competition ever!

  If any Team USA members have any questions, PM me or email me at jonathanharps@gmail.com

  Drumrolllll....

  Here are the captain picks for the WGT Ryder Cup 2012!

  ROW: Starsandros and FlyinDoc

  USA: LeGeNdCrUsHeR, JFHuber, dansamcam, xxXxMarcxxXx

  Congratulations! These players are indicated by a small letter "q" in the final qualification leaderboards.

  At the ROW Team, the additional players were decided by a vote of all regularly qualified players. I think that is a first time and it seems very fair. The US team found a great combination of highly skilled individuals who bring a little x factor of their actual current strength with them. I hope nobody feels like these picks are unfair, as all of these players are very good without any doubt. Nonetheless I know that every decision leads to possibly unhappy people and hope that they will still follow the competition and take it as an extra motivation to qualify for next year's event or even captain there.

  First round pairings will be announced tomorrow!

  Cheers, Hans

  Congrats to the latest additions of team USA.  Great job Jon. Having been the winning captain of last year's USA team, it is difficult to make these decisions. Hopefully everyone can jump on board and cheer our team on to victory!

  Looking forward to the matchups.

  It is a very tough job im sure to pick players. GL to all chosen and congrats on making the team. 

  I accept I didnt make it, should have played better and not hoped for a captains pick that I knew would never come. That being said it is an absolute smack in the face for guys to play every week and not even be considered. In no way am I saying Im a better player than the guys who were chosen. Legendcrusher finished ahead of me in points so I cant say a word about that.  However to play 4,2, and 1 week and be selected is a smack in the face to the guys in the 9-15 slots. Are those guys better than me? One without a doubt, the others, probably/maybe so. Did i put the effort and time in that they did not? Definitely so. Myself, Jlucky and rlweller finished every week and in the top 30. I know people are busy, hell i work two jobs and was able to find time to play 9 times once a week. If those guys are so busy they cant take time to qualify, how in the hell are they gonna find time to play the matches? It is the captains choice, Ive been down this road before and I'm just voicing my opinion. I respect your right to pick whoever you want, you were selected. I have voiced my opinion. LC, Dan, JF, and Marc congrats on making the team. GL all.

  Wow, what a news! I'm very proud to be part of this great team, and as I said to Andy all I want to do now is to prove he made the right choice! Thank you very much to Hans and all the guys. 

  C'MON ROW!
