He had the worst season possible and it might be the last tournament where he can save it! I think he deserves a chance but I don't expect him to be anything near good.
Now that his wife has officially divorced him, this will place more stress on Tiger till the end of the season. Look for Woods to bounce back on next season's play. Hopefully by then, he may have his mindset back and qualify for the Ryder Cup team.
He was always going to be picked, but he shouldn't have been because he simply isn't playing well at the moment. Frankly, as a European I'm glad he's been picked. No doubt, he will transform into the old Tiger again whilst in Wales, but I guess that's how it goes.
He was showing a little of the old Tiger at the last tournament. two rounds in the 60's. He also plays those old european courses very well. I don't think you could NOT pick him. And this is a different type of tournament also. Team play. Don't you think he'll come to this tournament with a little different mindset also?
The course is less than 15 years old and european courses vary quite a lot depending on which part of Europe you're talking about. I think Wales has a lot of different types of courses
