EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — Tiger Woods returning to the United States team after a six-year absence will make golf's showdown even better, according to Europe's Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn.
"He brings so much greatness to the game of golf," Bjorn told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday, two weeks before the action in France.
A runner-up finish at the PGA Championship last month behind Ryder Cup teammate Brooks Koepka ensured a resurgent 42-year-old Woods won selection from Bjorn's counterpart Jim Furyk.
It's an eighth Ryder Cup appearance, and the first since 2012, for Woods whose only win was in 1999. He has a losing record overall though won four of seven duels in singles.
