Undoubtedly, Tiger Woods is the most popular and the greatest golfer of all time. Hence, his mere presence on the course makes the environment charismatic. However, having stayed away from the course for a while now, Tiger is currently recovering from a horrifying solo car crash that occurred in February 2021. Since then, he hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour or any other event.
Although, even while rehabilitating at home, he has been an integral part of the golfing world. Tiger was an unofficial advisor to Team USA for the Ryder Cup. Hence, Davis Love III, the captain of Team USA for the 2022 Presidents Cup, hopes for a lot more involvement from Tiger in the biennial event.

Talking about Tiger’s role in the team, he said, “So, his role is whatever his role wants to be. If Tiger calls me up and says, ‘Hey, you’re kicked out. I’m taking over.’ That’s Tiger’s role,” said Davis. “I would hope that he comes back and starts playing and can make that a goal to be on the team. He was a big part of our Ryder Cup.”

It is still unclear whether or not Tiger will play competitive golf once again. However, given his history of comebacks, counting him out already would be a huge mistake. As for business, the 2022 Presidents Cup is all set to begin in September 2022 at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.
