Now 43, Woods may not take a big playing load while juggling management duties but his presence is a bonanza for organisers.
The 15-times major champion missed the 2015 tournament and was a non-playing assistant two years ago when Steve Stricker's United States steamrolled the Internationals 19-11 at Liberty National.
It also spells trouble for an Internationals team short on quality and experience that appears ill-equipped to end the US tyranny. The team's three Australians -- Scott, Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith -- also know their way around the sandbelt but they are well aware that local knowledge counted for little in 2011.Four of the five Australians in the 2011 Team International bombed in front of home fans, with Robert Allenby infamously blaming his playing partners for his failure to earn a point.
Els has been at pains to build camaraderie for the team and coaxed many of them Down Under early to compete at the Australian Open in Sydney over the weekend.
