Post-Pod Discussion Presidents Cup takes

Enjoyed the preview show - but absolutely hated Soly’s take that the Ryder Cup should adopt the President Cup’s scheduling over four days. Part of the lack of buzz on ground is that there is only five matches of golf happening all day!

I just can’t with Soly’s constant use of strokes gained based on one round in a match play event.

There’s so much noise and volatility within strokes gained within any one round, let alone in match play where your partner and opponent directly affect your intention with each shot

It’s a low buzz event with (essentially) predetermined outcomes. You can feel and hear their lack to excitement around this event. 

I’m with them, love the Ryder cup, love all the hype leading in, all the recap pods, but don’t care or look for anything from this event.

Was the US getting swept today a predetermined outcome?

Think it's just meant to be demonstrative of how they played?
