Steve Stricker Hopes Tiger Woods Can Join Team USA at 2021 Ryder Cup After Crash

While Tiger Woods recovers from serious injuries suffered in a car crash last month, United States Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker would like the superstar somehow involved in the international event.

"I'd love to have him around [at the Ryder Cup]," Stricker said Sunday, per Bob Harig of ESPN. "I'm hoping in one way, shape or form. But it's too early to kind of commit to anything."

There has been speculation Woods could be named team's vice captain, but Stricker did not confirm it.

Woods suffered "significant" injuries in the single-car accident and required extensive surgery to heal comminuted open fractures in his leg.
