DL3: Tiger Woods confident he'll make 2016 Ryder Cup team

No one seems to have any clue whether or not Tiger Woods is going to play in the Masters in two weeks, but 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III knows Woods anticipates making his Hazeltine-bound team.

"He's expecting to make the team," Love said in an interview on BBC Radio. "He and I keep in touch a lot more than we have. He still has a good attitude and is working hard."

Love, however, is in the dark like the rest of us about Woods' status for the Masters.

"I spoke to a few people who tell me he's working very hard and is eager to get back," Love said. "I suppose he has a plan for the Masters. We're hoping to see him back soon."

Woods announced Feb. 11 that he would not play again on the PGA Tour until his game is "tournament ready." He has since skipped The Honda Classic, just minutes from his home in Jupiter Island, Fla., and last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, a tournament he has won eight times.

Notah Begay III, Woods' friend and former Stanford teammates, said on 120 Sports that the 14-time major winner is essentially a coin flip on if he'll play in the year's first major.
