“Given who he is and what he represents, I can’t tell you right now: I don’t know if he’ll be here next year, but he’ll be part of our team in some form,” the USA captain said, according to the Golf Channel.
I only did two races
Woods seriously injured his leg in a car accident last year and has since struggled hard to get back on the golf course. This year he has only competed in two competitions: the US Masters Championship and The Open.
– He’s already part of the team, to be honest. I can’t say this strongly enough – he loves the Ryder Cup. I made this a priority. He wants to participate as much as he can. “He’s been through a number of things lately that make it difficult, whether it’s travel or otherwise,” Johnson said.
Thus, it is unclear to what extent Woods will help Johnson. However, there is no doubt that the captain will appreciate the advice of the 82-time Tour winner.
The Swede was stripped of the role

On the European side, Luke Donald has taken on the role of captain since Swedish star Henrik Stenson was stripped of the role after signing on the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Tour.
