Team USA Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson has outlined two factors that will determine whether Tiger Woods will compete in this year's Ryder Cup. Woods has played just nine rounds of competitive golf since suffering severe injuries in a car accident in February 2021.
He made his long-awaited return to the PGA Tour in April 2022, after competing at the Masters, before also playing at the PGA Championship and 150th Open at St Andrews. Following his return at Augusta, the 15-time major champion confirmed his playing career was now a part-time one.
It remains unknown as to what events Woods will enter in 2023. Despite his reduced playing plans, Ryder Cup skipper Johnson has not ruled Woods' chances of making the American team in Rome later this year.
