Golfers react to Tom Watson's Ryder Cup captaincy
Congrats to Tom Watson, 2014 US Ryder Cup captain. I would love to see Paul McGinley go up against him as European Captain at Gleneagles!

Congratulations to Tom Watson! He probably is the right man for the job in 2014 with the matches being played in Scotland. #rydercupcaptain

Riiight. Did he say the same for Byron Nelson? MT @kellytilghmangc PGA Prez tells me Larry Nelson's window hasn't closed for being a captain

It's Official - Tom Watson is the 2014 Ryder Cup Capt! How cool would it be to play in golf's birthplace for a guy that's a legend there!?

Many congratulations to Tom Watson on being named the 2014 Ryder Cup captain. If Nelson isn't picked for '16, idk if he ever will...

Tom Watson better get cracking. Only 652 days until the Ryder Cup.

Puzzling thing about Cap. Watson: how exactly does he "break the mold"? Dude's a recycled captain! Is picking an old guy that cutting-edge?

I love the Keegan/Rory Ryder Cup banter. Such an electric event. It's why I'm in the gym right now. I want in. #USA

I saw tremendous value in having Dave and Raymond's no nonsense old school of thinking at our 2008 RC. Tom will bring that same intangible

Man, who did poor Larry Nelson tick off at @thepgaofamerica . Disgraceful boys. At least give him the dignity of a phone call. #cowards
— Arron Oberholser (@ArronOberholser) December 12, 2012
Larry Nelson would be the Tom Landry of Ryder Cup captains. Any player should be honored to play for him and the US of A! #rydercupcaptain

I don't understand the PGA of America... Why not go with the guy who led u to your last RC win? Not a guy who led 20+ yrs ago...#zinger
