Tiger Woods has made a decision with regard to the possibility of becoming the U.S. Ryder Cup team captain in 2025. 

According to The Telegraph, Woods turned down the opportunity to captain the U.S. against Europe at Bethpage Black in Long Island, New York next year. 

Woods reportedly believes he would not have the time to handle the many demands that come for a team captain. He is also one of those involved in the PGA Tour’s talks with the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi Arabia backbone for LIV Golf, as a merger remains possible.

Woods was an assistant captain in the past for the Ryder Cup squad, which led many to believe he could be a possibility for 2025. 

Now that he is reportedly out of it, The Telegraph cited Stewart Cink, a PGA Tour veteran, as someone who could land the captaincy.

The Times’ Tom Kershaw spoke to Cink at the Genesis Scottish Open, where he asked about Woods turning down the captaincy. 

"Tiger should have first run, and he has, but it doesn’t surprise me that he turned it down," Cink told Kershaw. "The PGA Tour is pretty busy right now, and he’s got a lot on his plate."

There is also Davis Love III, a captain in 2012 and 2016, as well as Fred Couples among the possible choices for this year.
