(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 16 - Tiger Woods will have some role in the US team to play Europe in the Ryder Cup at Rome this autumn, captain Zach Johnson told ANSA in an interview Thursday.
    "The Ryder Cup is extremely important for Tiger Woods," said Johnson.
    "He has always supported Team USA in every way, all the way.
    "I still don't know what his specific involvement will be for the clash with Europe in Rome this year, but he will certainly be part of our team.
    "From afar or close in, his intuitions, his experience, and wisdom represent an inestimable value." Johnson went on to say: "Winning overseas won't be easy. But the fact that we have not done so for 30 years is a great motivation and opportunity. Before the Ryder I will bring all the American team to the Marco Simone (Golf Club) for common training. It will be a chance to try out the golf course, which is of the highest level".

The 2023 Ryder Cup will be played in Italy for the first time from September 25 to October 1, 2023, at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, located just outside Rome.
