When Tiger was on the team in Australia (at the 1998 Presidents Cup), he rode on the bus with everybody else, he was at every meeting, he had dinner with everybody every night. He was a perfect team member. I've got great respect for Tiger and I see nothing else coming from him other than what I saw in Australia.

You could do it either way you want to do it, ... I could have 20 and Tiger could have 13. I mean, I don't care. But I can't imagine that anybody would have thought of the U.S. Amateur being a major in the last 10 or 15 years. Forty years ago, they still looked at it that way.

I think Tiger would be more enthusiastic about the Ryder Cup (if he skipped the Presidents Cup), and not just Tiger, but all the top players. Biennially, it's fairly easy to get excited about playing.

I told Tiger that he is more than welcome. He may choose to come to The Bear's Club, and he may choose not to come here ... may not want to feel like he's imposing on my situation while he's trying to break my record. He's certainly been invited.
