Colin Montgomerie, 2010 European Ryder Cup captain, is very confident that his team will win at Celtic Manor even if Tiger Woods is included in the United States team.

Stan James Betting News has posted the following odds, Europe 4/5, USA 5/4, The Tie 10/1.

World number one Woods is currently taking a break from golf as he tries to sort out his personal problems after admitting being unfaithful to his wife. And he has not yet revealed if he will participate in the event between October 1-3.

Montgomerie is aware that Woods has a good record for the United States, particularly in the singles, but still feels his team will come out on top.

He told BBC Sport: “A lot depends on whether Tiger plays as he hasn’t lost in the singles.

“But if our 12 play to their potential, with the crowd’s backing, we will win.”
