Tiger Woods was last seen playing in the 2018 Ryder Cup. Ever since, the golf world star has not competed in the famous biennial men’s golf event. However, that has not stopped him from being there for his team and showing his love and support from time to time.

Woods remains the team’s number one supporter from the sidelines, and his actions speak for themselves. In the days leading up to the international event, Zach Johnson has, on multiple occasions, opened up about Woods’s involvement in interviews. And now he has made yet another revelation, clearing the air on how exactly the 15-time major winner will be involved.

As per Golfweek’s recent report, Zach Johnson said, “He’s been involved throughout. Just communication, whether it’s a text here or text there. He’s like, ‘If you need me to look at something, so be it.’… But he’ll be in communication, whether it’s FaceTime or text.”
