[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Will the 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA, photo) appear at the Ryder Cup held in September?

Steve Stricker, captain of the U.S. team, said on the 20th (Korean time), "If possible, I would like to appoint Woods as vice-captain." He added, "I had a video call with Woods last week," and said, "His physical condition seemed somewhat improved, but I don't know how much he will recover by the start of the tournament." The Ryder Cup is a men's golf competition between the United States and Europe. This year, it will be held from September 24 at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, USA.

Woods suffered severe leg injuries in a car rollover accident in February in Los Angeles, California. He is currently undergoing surgery and is receiving treatment and rehabilitation at his home in Florida. Recently, he posted a photo on his social media showing him standing with a brace on his right leg and using crutches, and he was also spotted riding a cart while visiting the junior tournament venue of his son Charlie.

Woods served as vice-captain at the 2016 Ryder Cup and the 2017 Presidents Cup, and was appointed captain at the 2019 Presidents Cup. Also, at the 2017 Presidents Cup, Stricker was captain and Woods was vice-captain leading the team. Captain Stricker emphasized, "The players respect Woods very much," and said, "If possible, I want to appoint him as vice-captain." Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, and Davis Love III have already been selected as vice-captains for the U.S. team.
