Questions over whether Woods would appear at Whistling Straits loomed over the weekend. Stricker said before the tournament started that Woods will still be a part of the team, even though he wouldn’t physically be in Wisconsin.
Stricker revealed that Woods texted the team before Friday’s play.

Xander Schauffele added: "We knew he was fist-pumping from the couch. Whether he was on crutches or not, he’s as fired up as any back at home. So it’s nice to have his support."
