Tiger Woods Reportedly Optimistic He’ll Play Golf Again

Tiger Woods is still down, but he’s not out. Tiger’s Ryder Cup co captain Steve Stricker believes Tiger still has some gas left in the tank. Speaking to SiriusXM Radio after making his six picks for the U.S. team that will play against Europe starting Sept. 24, Stricker for the first time suggested the 15-time major champion might try to play golf again.

Stricker explained:

“I’ve talked to Tiger a lot,” Stricker said in the interview at Whistling Straits with former PGA Tour players Carl Paulson and Dennis Paulson. “He’s a part of this Ryder Cup family; he won’t be able to be a captain’s assistant this time around just because of his ongoing rehabilitation to try to get better and try to play golf again, and that is going well. He’s progressing, he’s doing well, things are moving in the right direction.”

Woods suffered serious injuries, including broken bones in his right leg and multiple injuries to his right ankle and foot, in the crash in Southern California.

If we’ve learned anything about Tiger Woods all these years,  it’s the guy has a drive like no other.

He’ll be back, just wait and see…
