Tiger Woods will no longer be considered an option to captain Team USA at next year’s Ryder Cup, the PGA of America announced in a statement. Woods himself chose to not be in the running anymore.
Woods shared on Tuesday that he would be stepping away from all golf activities for the foreseeable future as he intends to get treatment. This decision stemmed from a two-car rollover crash Woods was involved in last Friday, causing him to be arrested for a DUI. He passed the breathalyzer test, but refused to do a urine test to result in the arrest. He pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge. It was later revealed that Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of the crash. This is the fourth time the 50-year-old has been involved in a traffic issue that involved law enforcement. His inpatient treatment will take place outside of the United States due to privacy concerns.
