WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — A campaign that began at the 2016 Ryder Cup — where the United States team wore T-shirts that read “Make Tiger Woods Great Again” — culminated in victory on Tuesday when Woods was named to the 2018 squad by the captain, Jim Furyk.
Woods, 42, who at this time last year was recovering from his fourth back operation and had not been cleared to take full swings, will be participating in his eighth Ryder Cup, the biennial event between the United States and Europe, and his first since 2012.
“That was a goal, at the end of the season to make this team,” Woods said of his comeback.
