Tiger Woods returns to the US Ryder Cup team for the first time since 2012 this year as he looks to improve a pretty wretched record in the tournament.

The former world number one has competed in seven Ryder Cups in the past, winning just one of them.

The 42-year-olds sole victory with Team USA came way back in 1999 when the Americans earned a narrow win at The Country Club in Brookline.

USA have won twice since then but Woods missed the victory in 2008 through injury and wasnt selected in the 2016 team.

So just how was Tiger got on in the Ryder Cup on an individual basis?

What is Tiger Woods world ranking?

After winning the 2018 Tour Championship, Woods rose to number 13 in the world from #21 the previous week.

What is Tiger Woods net worth?

The last time this was accurately calculated by Forbes in 2016 it was thought to be around $740 million (£563.6m).

With Tigers return to form on the golf course, this is likely to have increased, as even by the middle of July, Forbes reported that he head earned $43.3m (£32.75m).

$42m of this was in endorsements, so now Tiger is back to earning millions on the course as well as off it, his earnings will vastly increase.

It has been reported that Woods has earned $1.5 billion (£1.14bn) since he turned pro in 1996, but less than 10% of that is prize money from golf tournaments.
