There are few certainties in professional golf these days but this is one of them. This match will never happen, the following is a bit of fun. It can’t happen and it won’t happen. But if it ever did happen it would be spectacular for all manner of reasons…
The Captains
PGA Tour: Tiger Woods
Who else? We did wonder if Rome would be where Tiger would take the reins but that’s not to be. He’s already looked after a Presidents Cup team, in a joint playing capacity, but let’s keep things simple and have Tiger with his walkie-talkie in hand rather than his clubs.

He’ll stoke the flames with his often nonsensical opinions but, whatever you think of him, he’s generally entertaining. He’ll have plenty up his sleeve, some of it amusing, plenty of…
