The Ryder Cup, a prestigious golf competition held biennially, showcases the top 12 golfers from Europe pitted against their counterparts from the United States. The competition follows a unique format, with various match types including foursomes, four-ball, and singles matches. As we approach the event, it's worth noting the rich history of past Ryder Cup participants, which includes iconic figures like Tiger Woods.

Woods, widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time, has won 15 professional major golf championships. He has participated in eight Ryder Cups for Team U.S. from 1997 to 2018 and was part of the winning team in 1999. That event, known as the 'Battle of Brookline,' was a moment of intense competition and incredible comeback by the USA against Europe, with the final score of 14.5 to 13.5. Woods contributed a crucial point by defeating Andrew Coltart 3 & 2 in a singles match on the final day, finishing the event with a record of 2 wins, 3 losses, and 0 draws overall.

Woods will not participate in the 2025 Ryder Cup because he is prioritizing his recovery from injuries to focus on his physical health.
