You've already seen tension between him and players in that warm up team thing they had last year. I mean he is somebody who was so talented that he still has an attitude that kinda says "it's easy guys." Not a modest enough person to really be a good leader of something. To be honest, if somebody else was captain, then I think Monty would of made the team on his own. I don't know how Faldo really is, but he gives the appearance of being a jerk.

I actually came on here to post my thoughts on this....glad to see you boys are already on it....I can't even debate the selection of Faldo as captain...actually if you are going to debate a captain, debate Azinger.

I think that Faldo missed the boat with both picks. Monty brings that whole sinister swagger into this which is so important. But the one that really shocked me was Darren Clarke. How on earth does he not pick him? Especially since he is playing well again...2 wins this year. Not to mention the emotional lift he brings. Poulter and Casey are 2 nice players and will probably do okay, I just think that Clarke and Monty would have made more sense. Or at least one of them and I think if I had to choose only one I would have had to go with Clarke.

Any thoughts on who Azinger is going to pick?
