True, the Ryder Cup has history on its side having started in the 1920s but I'd give the President's Cup its due. I certainly wouldn't assume that someone would pass on playing if he were chosen for the event. I'm not sure why you would think that. It will never be held alongside another big money event.

It's becoming more prestigious every year it is played too. I particularly remember how competitive the 2003 event was in South Africa. It finally ended in a tie and hand-shakes all around. The 2009 tournament (San Francisco) should be awesome with Couples and Norman as team captains.
