"By Dave Shedloski\nAKRON, Ohio -- CBS golf analyst Sir Nick Faldo, a former Ryder Cup captain and the match&amp;#39;s all-time leader in appearances and points, said he could not see how Tom Watson could pick Tiger Woods for the U.S. team if the former No. 1 player doesn&amp;#39;t qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.\nFacebookPinterestAFP/Getty ImagesWoodsFaldo.jpg\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t envy Tom Watson&amp;#39;s position at all,&amp;quot; said Faldo, who will be in the broadcast booth for CBS this week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and next week&amp;#39;s PGA Championship at Valhalla GC in Louisville, Ky. &amp;quot;You could honestly say there might be more controversy if Watson picks Tiger if he isn&amp;#39;t in the playoffs. What will he have, a maximum of 14 rounds [if he makes the cut at the PGA]? He could go play in Europe, but would that be enough?\n&amp;quot;I just think you can&amp;#39;t pick him unless he shows real form these next two weeks. It wouldn&amp;#39;t be fair to anyone on that team, and it&amp;#39;s probably not fair to Tiger, either.&amp;quot;\nRelated: Thanks a lot, Jack! Nicklaus paints Watson into corner\nFaldo agreed that WGC-Bridgestone is pivotal for Woods, who has won eight times on Firestone&amp;#39;s South Course, including a five-stroke victory a year ago. But Woods, who has fallen to No. 10 in the world after missing three-plus months following back surgery, also has had his struggles in the event; he shot 18-over 298 in 2010 after splitting with instructor Hank Haney.\n&amp;quot;If this is a poor week, then he is under real pressure at Valhalla,&amp;quot; Faldo said. &amp;quot;He needs to shoot four good rounds this week, get a fat check, get some points. He&amp;#39;s got to show some consistency and build some confidence. This is the place for him to do that.&amp;quot;\nFollow @DaveShedloski"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
