Love back to being a player instead of a captain (The Associated Press)

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) -- Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III was so fired up watching the Americans play and win at Hazeltine that he couldn't wait to get out of his cart and get back to playing. He said one of his assistant captains, Tiger Woods, felt the same way.

Both had to wait a while.

Love and Woods were scheduled to play the PGA Tour's season-opening event at the Safeway Open, and both withdrew. One got more attention than the other.

Woods still hasn't played since August 2015. He is due to return in two weeks at his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
