These are things which are fun to write about but ridiculously overrated. Golf is an individual sport, a pro isn't going to try any more or less hard in his match because Tiger Woods is on his team.
If ALL OTHER things were equal I suppose you could look at the chemistry element to break the tie, but any argument against him being on the team which is rooted in team spirit deserves to be dismissed out of hand.
I'm surprised that he hasn't begged out of consideration somehow in the self-interest of shutting it down in coming weeks and going back into hibernation for the rest of the year. Although I am prone to rooting against Tiger, I have to give him credit if he really does want to be a captain's pick and contribute considering there is little money, lots of travel, and potentially hostile crowds.
