Tiger Woods breaks silence on US Ryder Cup captaincy snub before teasing future gig
Tiger Woods revealed that his busy schedule will prevent him from taking on the responsibility of leading the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 2025. Coming off a humiliating win over Team Europe at the last tournament, Team USA has instead turned to Keegan Bradley.
Bradley will take over as Team USA captain after Zach Johnson served a brutal 2023 suspension last fall. But Woods has not ruled out taking on the captaincy role in the future, and the 15-time major winner has made it clear that it’s an appealing position for him.

Through a PGA Tour release, Woods said, “Given my new responsibilities on the tour and the time it entails, I felt I could not dedicate the time to the American team and the players that would be required as captain.” “That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to captain the team in the future. When I feel the time is right I will throw my hat in the ring for this committee to make a decision.”
The Sun claims Woods was willing to take on the captaincy this time, but only on the condition that he take on reduced responsibilities. But even the great Tiger Woods couldn’t convince the PGA Tour to make such a change, missing out on the opportunity to lead Team USA in New York last year.
