Tiger Woods makes decision about US Ryder Cup captaincy in 2025: report

Tiger Woods has made a decision with regard to the possibility of becoming the U.S. Ryder Cup team captain in 2025. 

According to The Telegraph, Woods turned down the opportunity to captain the U.S. against Europe at Bethpage Black in Long Island, New York next year. 

Woods reportedly believes he would not have the time to handle the many demands that come for a team captain. He is also one of those involved in the PGA Tour’s talks with the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi Arabia backbone for LIV Golf, as a merger remains possible.

Woods was an assistant captain in the past for the Ryder Cup squad, which led many to believe he could be a possibility for 2025. 

Now that he is reportedly out of it, The Telegraph cited Stewart Cink, a PGA Tour veteran, as someone who could land the captaincy.

The Times’ Tom Kershaw spoke to Cink at the Genesis Scottish Open, where he asked about Woods turning down the captaincy. 

"Tiger should have first run, and he has, but it doesn’t surprise me that he turned it down," Cink told Kershaw. "The PGA Tour is pretty busy right now, and he’s got a lot on his plate."

There is also Davis Love III, a captain in 2012 and 2016, as well as Fred Couples among the possible choices for this year. 

Another report also said that Keegan Bradley, who Johnson infamously left off the U.S. team last year, could be chosen as captain as well. 

The U.S. was captained by Zach Johnson last year, but things went awry in Rome during the Ryder Cup that saw Europe win, 16 ½ to 11 ½, after getting off to an early lead. 

Woods has extensive Ryder Cup experience, though it hasn’t been the greatest of performances. He went 13-21-3 during his Ryder Cup matches. He went 4-2-2 in singles matches, 4-9-1 in foursomes and 5-10 in four-ball. 

His last outing was in 2018 at Le Golf National, where Europe won 17 ½ to 10 ½. Woods was dismal with an 0-4-0 record throughout the tournament.

Illinois Democrat warns Biden looks 'very frail,' risking race: 'Have to be honest ... it's getting worse'

Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., warned that President Biden did not assuage growing concerns about his fitness for office during his Friday ABC News interview, saying he looked "very frail" and was hurting Democrats by continuing to stay in the race.

"The polling is going in the opposite direction, and that’s what’s particularly concerning, and I can frankly see why. I don’t think it was a great interview. There were several things besides his very appearance that were concerning about what he said and how he said it. So I think we have to be honest with ourselves: the situation is not getting better. Frankly, it’s getting worse," Quigley told CNN's John Berman on Monday.

"Perceptions are absolutely ruling in things like this in a campaign. He looks very frail. His voice is very soft, it's not robust," he continued.

Quigley urged Biden to consider the impact staying in the race would have on downballot races.

"What I would stress to the president is that, ‘This isn’t just about you. It's not about loyalty. It's about being pragmatic.' We have to be honest with ourselves," he said.

Quigley joins a growing list of Democrats who've called on Biden to step down following his rocky debate performance on June 27. Several top House Democrats held a private meeting Sunday to talk about the state of the presidential race, with the consensus reportedly agreeing that it was time for the president to step down.

Quigley told CNN he expects more of his Democratic peers to come out and express similar concerns.

"It's going to be an amazing, unfortunately, horrible week, but I do think the numbers will grow," he told Berman. "I don't know how the president will react to that."

The congressman called it a "painful" and "horrible situation" for Democrats.

He also criticized the Biden campaign's treatment of polls coming out of the debate.

BIDEN'S FORMER PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI ADMITS ABC INTERVIEW WAS ‘JUST OKAY’

"I think frankly what hurts him, is the denial the president seems to have about how the polling was going," Quigley said, before highlighting eyebrow-raising moments from the president's ABC interview that sparked concerns from fellow Democrats.

Despite facing mounting calls to drop out of the race, Biden has remained steadfast in his commitment to stay in the race and compete again against his GOP rival, former President Trump.

Monday morning, Biden called into MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to insist once more that he was staying in the race, telling the hosts he was "not going anywhere."

A memo obtained by Fox News Digital, which was sent to Hill offices by the Biden-Harris campaign, touted the president's efforts to rally supporters in several swing states since the CNN debate.

The memo also highlighted a new Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll out Saturday that shows Biden trailing Trump across seven battleground states by just two points and leading Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin by five and three points, respectively.
