Woods not automatic Ryder Cup pick says captain Pavin

Font Size:

Tiger Woods is not guaranteed an automatic place for the Ryder Cup clash with Europe at Celtic Manor, says United States captain Corey Pavin.

Woods, who has struggled since taking a five-month break, is 11th in the points race with only eight players guaranteed to play, while Pavin gets four picks.

“I’m not going to treat Tiger any different – he’s certainly not going to be an automatic pick,” said Pavin.

“I’d love to have him on the team but I want him to be playing well.”
