Scouting report: Tiger Woods
Everything below is derived from Tiger's Drive for Five ratings — the same nine attributes that drive the game. Tiger is rated 89 overall and plays as a Bomber.
Why these ratings
Tiger Woods's profile is defined by big-match temperament (99) — the standout number in the card. As a Bomber, Tiger leads with length — driving distance rated 97. In the game that means an edge on longer holes and in fourballs, where raw power lets you attack; the trade-off is that tight, accuracy-first courses blunt the advantage.
Ryder Cup strengths
Tiger's biggest weapons are Big-match (99) — elite big-match temperament; Driving (97) — elite driving distance; Irons (95) — elite iron play. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.
Weaknesses to manage
The softer spots in the card are Focus (74). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Tiger with a complementary partner matters.
Best format
On the ratings, Tiger's strongest session is the Singles. One-on-one match play rewards this card’s temperament and short game — the profile of a player you trust when there’s no partner to lean on.
The attribute that defines Tiger
Big-match — 99. More than any other number, this is the rating that shapes how Tiger should be used in a squad.
Ryder Cup history
Woods is one of the greatest golfers in history, though his Ryder Cup team record has often been discussed as surprisingly modest relative to his individual dominance.
In Drive for Five, Tiger's in-game Ryder Cup record stands at 3W · 1H · 1L.
How to use Tiger in Drive for Five
Based purely on the in-game ratings, Tiger is best deployed as a pressure player to send out in the Sunday singles when the cup is on the line; or a fourballs attacker who can take on pins and make birdies while a steadier partner holds par; or a scrambler who saves holes that look lost — invaluable in tight match play. With pressure rated 93, this is a player who gets better when the match tightens — exactly who you want on the course when the cup is being decided.
