Zach Johnson and Luke Donald on being captain for the Ryder Cup ©️ pic.twitter.com/5yn79nPapX
American Ryder Cup golf captain Zach Johnson says Tiger Woods will be a useful information source for the team despite his absence from the contest against Europe in Rome.
The 15-time major winner won’t be at the course in Italy when they get underway on Friday because he’s recovering from ankle surgery.
Woods has been part of the preparations for the United States and Johnson admits he’ll be in contact with the side from home.
