Courtesy of the legacy he has left behind, Woods’s presence in the golf cosmos remains apparent even when the golfer himself can not participate. The same was vouched for by the American Ryder Cup captain, Zach Johnson. Through a days-old tweet, it seemed that the 47-year-old was all praises for the golf legend.

Not only that, the captain stressed how Team USA is going to exercise the 15-time major winner’s wisdom and passion regarding the biennial event. Alas!
