Tiger Woods is taking his position very seriously

Tiger Woods joining Hazeltine National

Could you imagine a team with Spieth, DJ, Watson and Fowler led by Tiger Woods?

The Legend, will not be playing in the team that will try to recover the Ryder Cup for the United States after six years of drought and that will not surprise anyone at this point. Nevertheless, Tiger Woods, the Californian will actually be at Hazeltine National in Minnesota from September 29 to October 2, serving as vice-captain and bringing all his knowledge on the tactical plot, with Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk. And so it seems, as we learned through Captain Davis Love III, 40 years old legend, is taking it seriously.

“Tiger Woods is continually sending me text messages in which he proposes some pairings for the teams duels” said Love III to Sky Sports. In less than two months Tiger will have the difficult task of dealing with four of the twelve players who will form the Stars and Stripes team, and surely has an idea of the names he wants to lead at the home event.

“He’s putting a lot of effort so that everything goes well at Hazeltine. We could say that it is carrying out team tactics. Tiger is one of the most prepared when drawing up a plan for a tournament and I know that he already knows who are the four players whom he wants to be with him. I cannot say who they are, but everyone will be happy, “continued the American captain talking about Tiger Woods.

As is customary in the US, the twelve players who will join the team will be divided into three groups and each will be vice captains who is responsible for the work of each of them. Leading them is Davis Love III, making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Could you imagine a team with Spieth, DJ, Watson and Fowler led by Tiger Woods? Just naming it scares even the fiercest opponent.

And what about some Tee Times  in Portugal or Spain?
