NASSAU, Bahamas – When the U.S. Presidents Cup squad gathered for a team meeting in August during The Northern Trust at Liberty National, U.S. captain Tiger Woods stressed that his prospective team members keep the competitive juices flowing.

“I told all the guys at Liberty when we had our meeting, back in ‘98, we weren't ready to play,” said Woods, referring to the Internationals’ lone victory in 12 editions, a nine-point rout of Jack Nicklaus’ American squad at Royal Melbourne.
