Jim Furyk admitted he would like Tiger Woods to be part of his Ryder Cup set-up for next year’s contest at Adare Manor.<\/p>\n
The United States captain, who will be taking on the job for the second time following a heavy defeat at Le Golf National in Paris in 2018, has served as vice-captain alongside Woods at previous editions of the biennial contest.<\/p>\n
Woods is reported to be receiving treatment in Switzerland after being charged with driving under the influence following a car crash near his Florida home in March.<\/p>\n
Police found two prescription opioid hydrocodone pills in his pockets when he was arrested, which Woods has been using to manage pain after a number of significant operations.<\/p>\n
Since being announced as captain for the 2027 contest, Furyk said he had not wanted to bother Woods but would very much like him to be involved.<\/p>\n
“We haven’t spoken yet. I think, out of kind of courtesy for him and his family and I know maybe a road to health, I haven’t reached out but I will,” Furyk said.<\/p>\n
“Definitely. We’ll see where that role may fall. In the past, I think he’s kind of taken a back seat and kind of maybe served as an advice for Keegan (Bradley) and such.<\/p>\n
“I will say I enjoyed serving – I use that word serving – as a vice-captain with him a number of times.<\/p>\n
“I think he brought a lot to the team room and a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jim Furyk admitted he would like Tiger Woods to be part of his Ryder Cup set-up for next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-447337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
