Matt Kuchar has fun with idea of Tiger Woods as playing captain

Tiger Woods is a vice captain for Davis Love III on the Ryder Cup team.

Monday he was also a topic of conversation as three of Love’s picks were named. 

Matt Kuchar, who was named to the team, introduced the idea of Woods as a playing captain, in jest, probably.

“It stinks for me to be on the outside needing a pick. I thought I had a nice year, yet not nice enough to qualify on points,” Kuchar said. “So Team USA is certainly very strong, to have the picks that we've had is fantastic. Right now, there's a guy like Bubba Watson not getting picked and I think he's Top-10 in the world.

“I heard, even possibly, this is hearsay, but I heard maybe even Tiger Woods could potentially be a pick. That would be legend-ary, legendary,” he said laughing.

“That's just hearsay. It could strictly be rumor. But I mean, I know he's playing Safeway. Imagine Tiger Woods being a playing captain, absolutely incredible. The team just — that last pick is going to be quite amazing. I don't envy Davis's position. So it's a tough job. But gosh, imagine that, Tiger Woods playing for Team USA, being a captain, that would be incredible.”
