Hound Dog LPGA 2008 Lexus Cup Qualifiers

Here's how the teams for the 2008 Lexus Cup look so far:

Team International

Captain: Annika Sörenstam

Rolex Women's World Ranking Qualification

Annika Sörenstam

Suzann Pettersen

Paula Creamer

Cristie Kerr

LPGA Official Money List Qualification

Helen Alfredsson

Katherine Hull

Angela Stanford

Karen Stupples

Team Asia

Captain: Se Ri Pak

Rolex Women's World Ranking Qualification

Yani Tseng

Seon Hwa Lee

Jeong Jang

Eun-Hee Ji

LPGA Official Money List Qualification

Inbee Park

Na Yeon Choi

Song-Hee Kim

Candie Kung

Each side has several absentees who presumably declined:

Team International: Lorena Ochoa, Angela Park, Laura Diaz, Karrie Webb

Team Asia: Ji-Yai Shin, Yuri Fudoh, Momoko Ueda

Who should be the sponsor exemptions? Notice that I didn't say captain's picks. Does anyone really think that Annika wanted to make Nikki Campbell a captain's pick last year? Geographic diversity is the significant factor here.

I'll offer what I consider a no-brainer pick for each side. Team International has to pick Morgan Pressel. She's next in line on the money list, just $544 behind Stupples. She'd only be the fourth American--that's not too many. And for Team Asia, China's best player, Shanshan Feng.

Team International has four spots to fill and Team Asia three. Put on your sponsor's hat and let's see some suggestions! Then feel free to take off your sponsor's hat and give us some real captain's picks and/or some players who you hope don't get picked!
