NICK Faldo is certain the American Ryder Cup team will unite in the absence of Tiger Woods.
"On the one side it could be a loss, but on the other they know that they don't have the option to bank on Tiger this year and I'm sure they'll all pull together because of that," said Europe's captain.

"I don't think it's a given that it improves our chances. The best player in the world over 18 holes in match play can be very vulnerable."
