Tiger Woods already won PGA Tour player of the year and now as he is playing the Presidents Cup, he will be paired with Matt Kuchar as the two take on Angel Cabrera and Marc Leishman as the International team.
The American pair will be playing at Muirfield Village in the four-ball tournament and the two are playing together for the first time. Woods last played in the competition with Steve Stricker and Dustin Johnson and now the two stars will play with each other as they try to cap off the year the right way. Woods has played well in the Cup, going 20-14-1 according to ESPN and Kuchar comes in after being 2-1 at the Ryder Cup last year.
The US has dominated recently and some of the other pairs include Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley and Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker, while some of the international pairs include Jason Day and Graham DeLaet, and Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. The tournament will be going on through the weekend.

Woods was voted the winner of the PGA Tour Player of the Year in the same year that he won back his number one ranking and won more times on Tour than any other golfer. Woods did not win a major once again, a streak that is starting to get longer and longer, but he won five tournaments this year and looked impressive while doing so, including at the Players Championship.
Woods also won the Farmers Insurance Open as well as the WGC-Cadillac Championship and overall he won two World Golf Championship events. After winning the award he was congratulated by his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn on Twitter and he said to reporters afterwards that he felt it was very special to win the award.
