About this Article

With five wins at Cog Hill and a pair of PGA Championships at Medinah, Chicago has been a special place for Tiger Woods the last 15 years. Maybe that will turn Woods’ fortunes in the Ryder Cup. To this point, the U.S. has gone 2-5 vs. Europe during the Woods era — and he missed the victory in 2008 at Valhalla after knee surgery. Wood’s only experience with a Team USA win was in the “Battle at Brookline,’’ where the U.S. mounted a miraculous Sunday rally.
