It's as he prepares to continue his resurgent season at the Northern Trust Open in New Jersey on Thursday.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Woods reflected on a season which has seen him contend in a number of high profile events, including the last two major championships.
"I told Jim I wanted be a part of the whole team, not just as a vice-captain but as a player. And I'm very close to making that happen. It's been a long year and that was one of my goals was to make that team, to be a part of that team, to be one of the 12 best players and I'm kind of training towards that."
Surprisingly, the 14-time major champion is yet to win the Northern Trust Open - formerly the Barclays - but is one of the favourites in a stellar field this week.
