Tiger Woods recently announced his decision to decline the opportunity to captain the U.S. team for the 2025 Ryder Cup, citing his increased responsibilities with the PGA Tour's negotiations involving the Saudi backers of LIV Golf. Despite stepping back from the captaincy role for now, Woods expressed his openness to potentially leading a team in the future, indicating that when the timing is right, he will consider putting himself forward for the position.
Woods, a key figure in the ongoing discussions between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund, expressed that his current commitments would hinder his ability to dedicate the necessary time and attention to the responsibilities of leading Team USA in the Ryder Cup. The decision to forgo the captaincy was a difficult one for Woods, given his history of involvement both as a player and assistant in prestigious golf events like the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
Keegan Bradley, who was recently appointed as the Ryder Cup captain, acknowledged Woods' dedication to the event, highlighting the significance of Tiger's passion for the competition. Bradley also made it clear that he values skill and performance above all, stating that his team selection will prioritize having the best players regardless of their affiliations with the PGA Tour or other golfing organizations.
