Tiger Woods' Ryder Cup Outlook

Best asset: He’s back. Woods has his game in a spot we haven’t seen in five years. He’s shown multiple times this season he can compete with the best players again. The approach game is completely dialed in, and the short game is looking great.

There aren’t a lot of U.S. players entering the event in great form, but he most definitely is.

Worst asset: Accuracy and past Ryder Cup woes. Like the majority of the U.S. team, he struggles with accuracy off the tee. If he can keep it in play, his game will fit Le Golf National just fine. He’s also really struggled in the team portion of the Ryder Cup, going just 9-16-1 in fourball and alternate shot.

For as good as he’s been, the U.S. has never found a partner for him. Bryson DeChambeau appears next in line to get that chance.

Ryder Cup Confidence Rating: 7 out of 10. His game is in perfect shape. But many times in this competition, his game has been in perfect shape and the results didn’t follow.

Tiger's got a target on his back. No matter which European duo he draws, he gets their full attention. They aren’t intimidated by him. They never have been. They relish the opportunity to take a point from the all-time great.
