Tiger Woods gets bounced from Ryder Cup team photo

Think Tiger Woods is itching to get back to playing competitive golf?

Tuesday, the 12 golfers who make up the 2016 United States Ryder Cup roster lined up for the team photo. Sneaking in the back row was a 13th – Woods.

Once a staple on the U.S. side, Woods has missed three of the last five Ryder Cups, mainly do to injury. He is on the grounds in Hazeltine this week, however, serving as a “vice captain,” whatever that means.

Woods, who hasn’t played a competitive round since Aug. 2015, will make his return next month at the SafeWay Open in Napa, Calif. Clearly, though, he’d rather be teeing it up Friday rather than riding around on a golf cart, walkie talkie in hand, doing, well, who knows what.

So there he was, sneaking into the team photo before getting the boot.
