Tiger back in mix for Ryder

TIGER Woods has earned a spot on the American Ryder Cup team with his recent hot form, captain Jim Furyk has hinted.

Speaking after the US PGA Championship, where Woods was second to American Brooks Koepka, Furyk said form was an important factor in determining his four captain’s picks.

Former world No.1 Woods finished 11th in the US standings, not among the eight players who qualified automatically after the US PGA Championship. Furyk would not be pinned down on whether Woods was guaranteed a place.
