Let's not forget so many really really good golfers are left out of the Ryder Cup. Over 30,000 fans every day on site - and you say "No interest!", - what channel were you watching. How about the Woody Austin dip, not to mention the fist pumps from Lefty (#2 Mickelson)... no interest - you must be kidding. Now - head to head - Tiger (World #1) and Canada's #1 (Mike Weir) - do you think there is no impact on golf in Canada - by the way "... more golfers in Canada (per capita) than in the US...(NBC Sports). If the Europeans are complaining, do something positive. If the US is complaining - try to do something positive !!! Please.

As a matter of fact, I like the team concept a lot. How does it detract from any of the other team competitions? How? The fans in Montreal were deep, loud and supportive! I like the President’s Cup.

Also, why not include all three regions in a WCC, to be held every two years, and in some manner match the teams against each other towards a playoff system on Sunday. Now, that would be interesting. You may have any combination of finalists, the Euros vs. U.S.A., or the Internationals vs. Euros, or the U.S.A. vs. the Internationals. I think it would generate world interest and winning, or losing, would have a much more impact on the participants and the fans. Either suggestion would certainly include the best players in the world and give the opportunity for the regions to showcase their best players in competion.

Plus it lets the rest of the world golfers get some exposure. I like President Cups since it fills in for the gap between the Ryder Cup. Plus it lets the rest of the world golfers get some exposure.

A triangular World Match-up Played every two years would fit the bill. The Presidents Cup means nothing to 600 million Europeans... and the American players have not got much enthusiasm for it, either... But this idea could be good for all.
