Wood had a good start to the season, finishing joint runner-up in the Madrid Open, an event reduced to 36 holes by bad weather.

The good results at the start of the season put Wood in the top eight of the Ryder Cup points to gain an automatic place in team.

In 1975 Wood also lost to David Huish in a playoff for the Scottish Professional Championship and made his one appearance for Scotland in the World Cup that year, playing with Brian Barnes, after Bernard Gallacher withdrew.

Wood and Bembridge held a 5 stroke lead after 54 holes but were caught by Eamonn Darcy and Christy O'Connor Jnr who had a final round 62.
