Yes, Pavin has no choice imo to select him. As of the August 15th new rankings, Tiger is the number one player in the world.
HOW can you leave the #1 player in the world off the team? Besides, in match play (which is TOTALLY different than medal play), Tiger can still win matches even though he's not playing his best. Besides being ranked #1 in the world, he's arguably the best match play player in the world since he started winning the JUNIOR US National Amateurs 15-16 years ago.
He will be selected.....
