Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, Henrik Stenson and Paul Casey were selected Wednesday as Europe's wild cards for the Ryder Cup, with captain Thomas Bjorn opting for experienced players to balance a team already containing five rookies.
The four picks have made 20 Ryder Cup appearances between them, and each has won at least 50 percent of their matches in golf's biggest team competition.
"You need people like that," Bjorn said, "who have been there and done it, positively and negatively."
Garcia, who will be making his ninth appearance, was called up by Bjorn despite a slump in form since winning the Masters last year for his first major title.
