Form is temporary, class is permanent. In my opinion, Corey will invite and Tiger will accept. He has to. The Ryder Cup has become like a fifth major. In fact one or two players have claimed they would forego a personal major win rather than being on the losing RC team. So the professional in Tiger will insist that he plays if invited.
The format is totally different too. This could, magically, assist Tiger find his game, who knows? In any sport a struggling player can regain confidence and form with one golf stroke, a goal in football, a boundary in cricket, a slam dunk, whatever wherever. Its the confidence, that the perfect timing in the action performed, has come back to you. That's all it can take sometimes. Ninety percent of all sporting performance by professional athletes is dictated by the goings on between the ears. A simple head wobble can sort out a lot of fuzz.
Also, selfishly, I'd love to see him over here. The man is pure legend. Celtic Manor is a fantastic venue for the tournament, with ampitheatre like greens all over. Its going to be a special atmosphere in Welsh Wales.
Predictions for the result.......? I think it is a very strong European team and can see a margin of 4-6 points. 16-12 Europe.
