(Reuters) - United States Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III on Wednesday appointed 14-times major winner Tiger Woods as one of his vice-captains for next year's Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota.
Woods, 39, is a veteran of seven Ryder Cups as a player, most recently in 2012 under Love's captaincy, and is battling to recover from a nagging back injury that led him to undergo two surgeries over the past two months.
Love also announced that Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk would be vice-captains, joining Tom Lehman who was introduced earlier this year as the first of five assistants under a new management system unveiled by the PGA of America to help revive U.
