Paul Azinger is not too far removed from his best golf, the years when he was trying to make an impression on the U.S. Ryder Cup captain. Even playing such a limited schedule -- he has never played fewer than 20 when healthy -- his year figures to be busier than ever. He already finds himself consumed with the Ryder Cup, and if that wasn't enough, his oldest daughter is getting married in June. Azinger will have more decisions than any U.S. captain in recent history. When he took the job in November 2006, he asked the PGA of America to revamp the qualifying system to help get him the hottest players. Along with basing the points on money, Azinger will get an unprecedented four captain's picks. As for the politicking, it wasn't long before he was proven correct. One day after he spoke to reporters at the Sony Open, he was walking off the putting green next to Chad Campbell. Someone called out to Campbell and asked if he already was pandering to the captain. Campbell, who played on the 2004 team, smiled and shook his head.
