Bjorn To Review Selection Policy Ahead Of 2018 Ryder Cup

Thomas Bjorn had been appointed as Europe's Ryder Cup captain for less than a day when he announced the selection procedure for the '18 match in the outskirts of Paris is "already being assessed to ensure all the players he will require at the time will be available," according to Mark Tallentire of the London GUARDIAN. Bjorn said "a full-scale review into selection policy and planning is being undertaken by the Ryder Cup committee." Though he maintained it is "too soon to discuss details, it is clear the Dane does not want a repeat of the situation that denied Darren Clarke the services of Paul Casey in the autumn" because the Englishman had not taken up his membership of the European Tour. Bjorn said, "There's a lot of nuances into this and they all need to be looked at. Selection will be reviewed, and it should be, because the world and the game of golf is a moving thing. But we're in no immediate rush and no panic to do it. We'll look at it carefully. We might stay where we are but we might also come up with a few tweaks. ... There's so many aspects but I'm just trying to gather all the information to set out a plan" (GUARDIAN, 12/7).
