Meanwhile, Tiger’s Ryder Cup performance hasn’t been impressive as his performance on the PGA Tour. He always seemed to struggle in this event, and the reason for it is not evident. Moreover, this has been the biggest mystery of his career as a player like Tiger Woods has only one Ryder Cup victory.
He first played in the Ryder Cup in 1997, and since then, he has only missed the event in 2008, 2014, and 2016. All these missed chances have been because of injuries, and the same trend continues for the upcoming 2021 Ryder Cup as well.
