Tiger Woods breaks silence on US Ryder Cup captaincy snub before teasing future gig
Tiger Woods has revealed that his busy schedule prevented him from taking on the responsibility of captaining the US Ryder Cup team in 2025.
Team USA – who suffered a humiliating victory against Team Europe last time around – instead turned to Keegan Bradley.
Bradley is set to replace Zach Johnson as Team USA captain – the man who brutally snubbed him for a spot at the 2023 edition last autumn.
But Woods has refused to rule out accepting the role of skipper in the future, with the 15-time major winner revealing it is a position that appeals to him.
Speaking via a PGA Tour statement, Woods said: “With my new responsibilities to the Tour and time commitments involved, I felt like I would not be able to commit the time to Team USA and the players required as a captain.
“That does not mean I wouldn’t want to captain a team in the future. If and when I feel it is the right time, I will put my hat in the ring for this committee to decide.”
It’s claimed by The Sun that Woods was willing to take the captaincy role this time around, but only if the number of duties was reduced.
However, even the great Tiger Woods wasn’t able to convince the PGA Tour into such a change, leading to him passing up on the chance to head Team USA at the event in New York next year.
