Tiger Woods Cleared to Seek Inpatient Care Overseas, Steps Down From 2027 Ryder Cup Role

The move underscores a health-first shift during an active DUI case stemming from last week’s Florida crash.

Overview

  • Police bodycam video released Thursday shows Woods taking roadside tests, being handcuffed, and telling an officer he had "just spoken with the president."
  • A Florida judge on Wednesday authorized Woods to leave the U.S. for "comprehensive inpatient treatment" at an undisclosed location.
  • The PGA of America says he will not captain the U.S. team at the 2027 Ryder Cup, and he has withdrawn from next week’s Masters.
  • Prosecutors charged Woods with driving under the influence and refusing a urine test, and court records show a not-guilty plea with an initial hearing set for April 23.
  • Police say his SUV hit a trailer on Jupiter Island on March 27 and overturned, and officers reported signs of impairment and found two Hydrocodone tablets.
