Forget what Tiger Woods is texting to Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III.
In fact, forget what Davis Love III says.
On Monday morning, Captain Love says his top eight guys will make the call.
That would be the automatic qualifiers for the Ryder Cup team:
Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson, in order of points earned.
“Now it’s time for this top eight to take ownership of this team,” Love said. “These eight guys need to pick four more.”
Talk about democracy?
“From No. 1 to No. 8 they need to take ownership of this team,” Love said matter-of-factly.
So there you have it.
No “Captain’s Picks” — it will be “Team Picks.”
Three will come on September 11, the fourth on Sept. 25.
Stay tuned, this oughta be good.
