I don't know.
How can the top strok players be competitive in match play?

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the " LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain ( Yang/陽) the lag ( Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" ( 陰陽合一).
The " LAW" creates the " effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the " cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
" Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

Makes me even more eager to see your book on GOLF hit the shelfs.

Yes.

Probably not.
Why?
Because it is not the 'culture' of the PGA TOUR. Never has been and never will be. The TOUR is a nomadic tribe of truly independent contractors. Each pays his own bus fare, room, meals, and caddy. Those who don't perform, don't eat, and they're back to Triple A -- read Nationwide Tour -- in a heartbeat. From there, it is to a Player's Oblivion of mini-tours and club jobs. These competitive folk most definitely are NOT 'team players.' They cannot afford to be.
In fact, they are The Meateaters. And the meat they eat is that of those against whom they compete every day.
When paired with their natural enemy, they just don't know how to function.

I am of a little different view, I would suggest that PGA players are team players; a number of them play in best ball matchs or match play events every Tuesday. I believe the main issue rests in the Captain's chair. How many "coachs" in other sports would allow a member or members of the team to practice by themselves? Or, as a coach (captain) if you are going to have player A and player B play alternate shot (where the US gets killed), why would you not have them practice same. Any team, golf or otherwise, is only as good as its LEADER

Take the top 12 Americans from the Fedex point standing for the playoffs only. It might even get Tiger to play in the first event.

The team needs to be made up of the players that are playing the best over the last month or so. Let the captain have more choices.

The Good Old Days
We should go back to beating the U.K.! It takes an entire continent to handle the U.S.! I agree with Yoda in that the players on the U.S. Tour do not "play" as well for one another as the Euros do. I have heard (from those in the know) that the European Tour has a great deal more comraderie etc. I guess they develop that while enjoying competing with one another on the the runner-up tour in the world! Some say American players are pampered and spoiled, that in turn dampens the competitive drive. When European Tour based players start winning more majors I will buy into that. 2 out of 4 last year was a pretty good start, though!

OK,Okie,
Do you know how many golfers /golfcourses there are in Europe compared to the USA,
Look it up because I may be wrong,but something like 6 times as many people play golf in the USA. 
Do you really want to go back to playing a country the size of Florida?-and whupping them every time!
