Woods admits he feels partly responsible for America's poor recent record having failed to reproduce the dominant form which has seen him claim 14 major title in the biennial team match.
The 36-year-old has taken 14 points from a possible 29 over the course of his six-match Ryder Cup career and is looking to improve that this week.
"Certainly I am responsible for that (America's poor recent record) because I didn't earn the points that I was put out there for," he added.
"I believe I was out there on five sessions each time and I didn't go 5 and 0 on our side, so I certainly am a part of that.
"That's part of being a team, I needed to go out there and get the points for my team and I didn't do that, so hopefully I can do that this week and hopefully the other guys can do the same and we can get this thing rolling."
