Darren Clarke Wildcard

The rumour mill has it that Darren Clarke has been offered one of the European Team wildcard slots by Ian Woosenam.

Darren will not make the top ten automatic selection places this time around as he has been focusing his attention on his wife Heather who recently passed away.

Woosnam could really use Clarke’s Ryder Cup experience (he has been on three winning Ryder cup teams since 1997) but it’s unclear whether Darren will accept the offer. Everyone is certainly rooting for him but I think that all Ryder Cup fans will accept that even though the tournament would be better with Darren on board, he may understandably need more time to grieve his wife and be with his sons.

    […] The completion of the BMW International in Munich on (31 Aug – 03 Sept) will deliver the final results for the European Ryder Cup team and Ian Woosnam (European Ryder Cup Captain) will be announcing his two wildcard picks shortly after. Rumours are flying however that Darren Clarke has already been offered one of these so there may even be only one left. […]

    Has Carl Pettersson got a chance at being selected?
