- Tiger Woods has declined the opportunity to captain the United States team at the 2027 Ryder Cup, following his announcement to step away from golf to prioritise his health.
- This decision comes after Woods was charged with driving under the influence last week following a car accident.
- He pleaded not guilty to the charges via his lawyers and requested a jury trial, stating he would seek treatment for his well-being.
- Police observed Woods to be impaired at the scene, noting he was 'sweating profusely' and 'lethargic', and he admitted to being distracted by his phone before the crash.
- Woods has a history of similar incidents, including a 2017 DUI arrest and a serious car accident in 2021 that resulted in multiple leg injuries.
