Fred Couples: Tiger Woods needs extra work for Presidents Cup

Tiger Woods may play in the PGA Tour Fall Series in order to be considered for November’s Presidents Cup team.

The former world number one has struggled with his form this year and recently missed the cut at the US PGA Championship.

Woods has played in every Presidents Cup team since 1998, but skipper Fred Couples has made it clear that the 35-year-old will have to put in extra work to make this year’s team.

"He can't just show up the week before in Australia," Couples said. "I have made it clear that whoever I picked will be playing the Australian tournament the week before. But I need him to play more than just there."

Woods, who has slipped to 36th in the world rankings, has not won a title since the 2009 Australian Masters.
