Philadelphia, PA ..

Tiger Woods was always going to be picked to contest this year’s Ryder Cup.

Woods had gone close to victory earlier in the year at the Valspar Championship, he lead late on Sunday at The Open and he went within one place of capturing this year’s PGA Championship before finishing second and his best finish in a Major in a decade.

So, just when was Woods informed he would be travelling to Versailles not as a USA vice-captain but as a playing member of Jim Furyk’s 12-man team.

Bernie here at www.golfbytourmiss.com put this questiont this afternoon at a PGA of America hosted press conference here in Philadelphia.

Qn: Tiger, congratulations on your selection.  Could you be you be brutally honest with us and tell us how LONG you’ve known you were a pick?
TIGER WOODS: Probably for — I played well at the PGA, so we are hinting at — sorry. The vice captains and the captain were hinting at picking him (laughter) as a player, so as a vice captain, I put my hat in for that player (laughter).

But yeah, so, you know, it’s one of those things where it evolved the last couple weeks.

Q. Can this be one of the most memorable Ryder Cups you will have played in, given what you’ve gone through these last few years?
TIGER WOODS: Absolutely. To have an opportunity to go to Europe and to have an opportunity to win a Ryder Cup, and we haven’t done it in 25 years over there, and to be part of this group of guys to have that opportunity to go there, it’s exciting, it really is.

We’re going to go over there and give it our best, and try and keep this Cup.
