The reason Tiger Woods turned down the 2025 Ryder Cup captaincy

Date:

Tiger Woods has come on strong in recent months as the main favorite to lead the Team USA on to Bethpage next year at Ryder Cup 2025 against the old continent. However, according to some American media outlets, the legendary golfer, winner of 15 Grand Slam titles, has decided to decline the offer and not captain America in the 2025 Ryder due to lack of time in his busy schedule.

For months, there has been talk of a strong possibility that Woods will lead the American team. Last May, after the first news of this possibility appeared, Woods indicated that he would struggle to accept the captaincy due to the lack of time to fulfill that role.

It was then understood that Woods could ask the PGA of America to reduce his commitments as captain if he eventually agreed to take up the position. In May, Tiger told several media outlets that he was “still talking” with PGA America’s executive director, Seth Waugh.to see “What will it look like and if I have time to do it.”

However, the negotiations did not reach a successful conclusion and Woods denied said responsibility.

Complete the agenda outside the fields

It should be noted that Woods was named a week ago member of a committee with the goal of reaching a possible agreement between the PGA Tour and the sovereign fund Saudi Arabia and he already holds several roles on the PGA Tour’s board of directors, so Woods would have declined that position due to a lack of time due to his various off-field pursuits.
