Watch Tiger Woods accidentally line up for the USA team photo at Hazeltine National

Tiger Woods suffered embarrassment at the US Ryder Cup team photocall after he forgot he was not one of the players at Hazletine National.

Woods is one of five assistant captains to Davis Love III this week and has not played a competitive round of golf in over a year following back surgery last September.

But that didn't stop him trying to muscle in on the official team photo as he took his place at the end of the back row alongside PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker.

The 14-time major champion was asked to moved out of the way by the photographer, but he clearly did not take the hint and simply moved to the other end of the back row.

The photographer then informed him, in no uncertain terms, that Woods was not one of the 12 players in action this week, and he retreated to the sidelines to much hilarity from the entire squad, although he did see the funny side.
