Tiger Woods<\/a> is unlikely to visit the Ryder Cup<\/a> as he continues his recovery from his February car accident<\/a>, according to Team USA captain Steve Stricker.<\/p>\n

Woods suffered serious leg injuries in a single-vehicle rollover accident near Los Angeles on February 23, where his SUV crossed a median, went across two lanes of road, then hit a tree and landed on the driver's side in the brush.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he thinks the 15-time major winner will be visiting Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, Stricker said: "Probably not going to happen."<\/p>\n

"He's been, you know, obviously in my ear a lot and I call him pretty regularly. He's part of our Ryder Cup Team," he said in a press conference. "He's part of what we do. He's been part of so many of these teams."<\/p>\n

Woods has appeared in eight previous Ryder Cups, winning two points for the US' victorious team in 1999.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he was a playing captain in the US' victory at the 2019 Presidents Cup. He was a captain's assistant for the 2017 Presidents Cup, where he served under Stricker.<\/p>\n

And although his presence will be missed at this year's Ryder Cup, Stricker stressed that he will still play a role from afar, as someone he can "bounce ideas off of him."<\/p>\n

He also revealed that some of his team paid him a visit ahead of the competition. But attending the event wouldn't be the best for the 45-year-old's recovery, says Stricker.<\/p>\n

"I think it's just not a good time for him to be here physically because of where he's at in his rehabilitation and tough course to walk," he said.<\/p>\n

"Everybody is going to see it, from tee-to-green, it's difficult. So probably won't show up. But he's getting better and his focus and mine is on making a comeback to play again. We don't want to get in the way of that because we would all love to see him come back and play."<\/p>\n

The Ryder Cup starts on Friday, September 24.<\/p>\n
