Tiger Woods is a name that is synonymous with the sport of golf; his greatness and achievements have created a storied career with lots of challenges and triumphs.
Even though he was called the king of golf and a 15-time major champion, he had a dry past, not winning a single Ryder Cup in golf.
Woods has shown his brilliance on the PGA Tour, which any golfer rarely achieves; however, irrespective of naming him as one of the greatest champions of golf, his experiences with the Ryder Cup are quite filled with a mix of success and failure, which some experts label as an ugly past. The Ryder Cup is a biannual, highly thrilling competition between the United States of America and European teams.
Furthermore, this cup has produced some of the best champions in golf and globally.

The 2018 Ryder Cup added a new narrative to Woods’ golf journey. Even though Woods made a remarkable achievement at the Cup, Team USA suffered a defeat at the hands of Team Europe. Sports experts pointed to Woods’ 0-4 play as a contributing factor to the team’s performance in the Ryder Cup.
Woods’ performance in the Ryder Cup includes failures and victories. However, the prevailing narrative in the media has often focused on his struggles to adapt to the team format. Some golf experts say that the atmosphere of the Ryder Cup, with the combined performance of the team, has been a unique challenge for Woods throughout his career.
While Tiger Woods struggled to recover from injuries and fight back in different golf competitions, the question of the Ryder Cup remains. Only time will tell when Woods can reshape his Ryder Cup legacy and contribute to future American victories in golf.
