Regardless of who wins, I’m lookin’ forward to watching some of the top names on Tour take one more crack at each other. But not everyone’s excited for the Presidents Cup…. here’s one blogger who thinks it is "too little, too late" especially after all the excitement at the Tour Championshp. This caveman can certainly see his point, but how about you – are you gonna watch this weekend or did your spectatin’ season end with the FedEx Cup?
And to tell you the truth, I’m thinkin’ the International squad might just pull this out! I know, I know, they haven’t won since ’98 and the US is packin’ one heckuva one-two punch with Tiger & Phil. But the depth of talent on the Int’l team should serve them well through the different formats of play. What’s your pick – US or International?
