LONDON (AP) -- United States captain Corey Pavin says Tiger Woods is not guaranteed to play in a maximum five matches against Europe in next month's Ryder Cup.
The No. 1-ranked Woods, who was chosen as one of Pavin's four wild-card picks last week, will be playing in his sixth Ryder Cup but has only been on the winning side once, in 1999.
Pavin tells BBC Radio: "I am going to treat every player the same. The objective is to try to win the Ryder Cup and if in my judgment I think Tiger is to play five matches, or should play four or three, then that is what I will do."
Pavin added Sunday that he was "not afraid to not play him every match, that's for sure."
Woods, a 14-time major winner, has not won a tournament this year.
