“We are working through that and hopefully my timetable would be middle of October hitting balls. I’ve got my wedge and my putter here today, or this week, so I’m going to go chipping around with some of my teammates.
“And doing the captaincy, the captaincy is a dream come true. Obviously I’d rather be playing but you know, I can’t really, there’s an individual tournament going on as well. I think y’all know how this works, there’s an individual and a team.
“So I can’t really like … this putt does this, because there’s a real tournament going on. So it’s not like a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup. So I won’t be able to give advice but I’ll be able to cheer them on.”
Later in the news conference, Watson spoke more of the team concept.
“If you think about high school golf, you’re a team. College golf, you’re a team. The only one that didn’t have that is professional golf. Now that LIV Golf brought it to the table, it’s a team atmosphere. And if you play bad, if you have a terrible round, shoot in the 80s or shoot 75, whatever it is, next day, you come back. You come back and you shoot 67, that might help you get on the podium or win as a team. It’s the coolest atmosphere I’ve ever been associated with.”
