As with most things on the internet, Stricker’s picks also sparked all sorts of debates in the comments section. “Feeling REAL good about this,” one wrote, others agreeing. Twenty-first on the Official World Golf Ranking list, Scheffler is now the lowest-ranked member to make it to the team. Another wrote, “Good picks, can’t wait for the matches to start”. A few looked excited about the Spieth-Finau duo, discussing how fun they might play as a team.

A few thought the team was actually predictable, expecting him to pick Finau and Spieth following their performances this season.

Others were a sort of mixed response, fans not hating the picks, but wondering if they could maybe do better. Avid followers wondered if the team needed a long-hitter, someone who could do better at holding the team together. “I don’t hate the picks. But the course definitely calls for longer hitters”.

Some fans were not a big fan of the picks, wanting players like Kevin Kisner, Kevin Na, or Patrick Reed on the team.
