Mix of Younger Guys and Older Veterans

Sept. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- U.S. captain Fred Couples disclosed last week that he's already told the 14-time major champion that he will pick Tiger Woods to be part of the 12-man squad that will compete in match play against an international team at Australia's Royal Melbourne Golf Club in November.

As for the pick, Tiger Woods said he is "honored" to be a captain's pick for the U.S. Presidents Cup team and indicated he believes he belongs on the squad despite his recent struggles.

"They wanted me on the team and I'm honored to be part of the team," Woods said. "It's a wonderful mix of younger guys and older veterans. I'm excited to get down there and play."

Woods went 5-0 in the Presidents Cup two years ago with his Golf Clubs Sale at Harding Park in San Francisco and was 3-1 at last year's Ryder Cup in Wales.
Woods has added the Frys.com Open in early October to his schedule. "I haven't played," said Woods, who is going on two years since posting his last PGA Tour victory, his 71st, at the 2009 BMW Championship. "Fred wanted me on the Presidents Cup and he wanted me to play with my Golf Irons Sale. I was playing the week prior (at the Australian Open), but I wanted to play prior to that. I wanted to test what (coach) Sean (Foley) and I have been working on.

"The Frys fit perfectly into my schedule. I also said at the beginning of the year that I wanted to play an event I've never played before. I told that to our commissioner. That's what I'm doing. It'll be fun."

Woods was at Atunyote Golf Club with his irons at Turning Stone on Wednesday as part of the Notah Begay Foundation Challenge, a one-day event featuring eight players. The event was originally scheduled for July 5 but was pushed back due to the knee and Achilles injuries that kept Woods from competing until the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in early August.

Woods is 29th in http://www.worldgolfsale.com/Golf-742-Ping-G20-Irons.html  the standings and well behind PGA champion Keegan Bradley, a two-time winner this year who also is not assured of a spot.

Woods is also in danger of missing a spot in his own tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, two weeks after the Presidents Cup. Because the tournament offers world ranking points, the players are required to be among the top 50 in the world at a Sept. 19 cutoff point. Woods is currently ranked 38th.
