TIGER Woods is not guaranteed a spot on the US Ryder Cup team and will have to play his way on like every other player, skipper Corey Pavin said. Woods, who took five months out of the game after his private life unravelled at the end of 2009 and has suffered neck problems since his return, is currently 11th in the US Ryder Cup points race.
Only eight players will automatically qualify for the American team's showdown with Europe in October in Wales.
"I'm not going to treat Tiger any different than any other player," Pavin said. "He's certainly not going to be an automatic pick. He's just going to be treated like everyone else. I'd love to have him on the team but I want him to be playing well," added Pavin, who said he had not spoken to Woods this year.
Woods has played only three tournaments since returning from his self-imposed exile. Just two weeks ago pulled out of the Players Championship during the final round, citing a neck injury.
