Tiger Woods Declines 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup Captaincy to Focus on Treatment

Court-approved inpatient care abroad now takes priority for Woods.

Overview

  • Tiger Woods, the PGA of America said Wednesday, will not captain the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup team and the organization supports his choice.
  • A Florida judge approved his travel for inpatient treatment outside the United States after his attorney cited a doctor’s recommendation and concerns over repeated breaches of privacy.
  • Woods said Tuesday he is stepping away from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health.
  • The decision follows a late‑March rollover crash near his Jupiter Island home and a DUI arrest, and he has entered a not guilty plea in court.
  • With the U.S. captaincy now open about 18 months before Adare Manor, media are floating alternatives including Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Stewart Cink, Webb Simpson and Justin Leonard.
