Tiger Woods Open to Ryder Cup Captaincy in 2027

Tiger Woods recently indicated a potential interest in serving as the Ryder Cup captain in 2027. When questioned by the media, Woods responded with a smile, noting that he had not yet been approached for the role. This statement follows current captain Keegan Bradley's public declaration that the captaincy would be available to Woods should he wish to accept it.

Bradley, who previously received the captaincy for the 2025 Ryder Cup after Woods declined it, praised Woods' leadership qualities. He reiterated that Woods "is going to get to be able to do it (lead the Ryder Cup team), when he wants to." Woods' public comments were made during his first appearance since undergoing surgery in October.
