Tiger Woods Kicked out of Ryder Cup Team Photo Because he is Not on Ryder Cup Team

Tiger Woods is not on the Ryder Cup team, something he apparently forgot for a few minutes today.

Old habits die hard. Tiger Woods learned that the hard, semi-embarrassing way this afternoon during Ryder Cup action at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. Woods, selected to seven Ryder Cup teams over his career, but is not on the 2016 squad for obvious reasons—he has not played in months and has not been good when he has played—is on hand this year as a vice captain. Unfortunately, a vice captaincy doesn't get you into the team photo, so Tiger had to step off.

He took it reasonably well in stride, too—once he figured it out, anyway. When the photographer initially kicked him out of the photo, he simply moved to the other side of the group. When he finally wised up, he moved out of the frame and gave a little salute to the photog once he was out of harm's way. He even laughed some.
