Tiger Woods has declined the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy to focus on his health following a car crash and DUI arrest in Florida. A judge granted Woods permission to leave the United States for an intensive, private inpatient treatment program outside the country.

Woods faces misdemeanor DUI charges after his car accident where he told police he was distracted before the crash. While a breathalyzer showed no alcohol, he refused a urinalysis test.
