TIGER Woods said on Monday he was considering playing in a PGA Tour Fall Series event later this year in a bid to justify his selection for the Presidents Cup team competition in November.
The former world No. 1 is eager to take part in the Presidents Cup in Australia from November 17-20 but has been advised by United States captain Fred Couples to get more tournaments under his belt before then.
Woods failed to qualify for the PGA Tour's elite FedExCup playoffs after missing the cut at the PGA Championship and his next scheduled event is the November 10-13 Australian Open.
"I've had some conversations with US captain Fred Couples, and we'll see how it goes. Of course, I want to be on the team. I'm just going to keep practising and try to get better," Woods said on his website. "It's Freddie's call, and he can make any choice he wants. I might add another PGA Tour event to my schedule. Right now, I'm looking at my options."
Woods has played on every US Presidents Cup team since 1998 but he has been a shadow of his former dominant self since the end of 2009. His world ranking has slipped to 36th and the 14-time major champion faces the once unthinkable prospect of being ranked outside the top 50 when he next competes.
