Tiger Woods will not be the United States\u2019 Ryder Cup captain in 2027.<\/p>\n
The PGA of America announced<\/a> the 50-year-old has told them he won\u2019t serve as captain at the next edition of the tournament at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland.<\/p>\n The group has held the captaincy open as it waited and hoped that Woods would choose to take on the responsibility, with a soft deadline of the Masters, according to the AP. But Woods appears to have taken his name out of the running following his DUI arrest last Friday.<\/p>\n Following the rollover two-car crash near his home in Jupiter Island, Fla. Woods announced his intention to step away from the game<\/a> to focus on his health. He was on Wednesday granted approval to travel out of the country<\/a> to seek \u201ccomprehensive inpatient treatment\u201d to ensure he receives the privacy he says he cannot receive in the U.S.<\/p>\n A statement from the PGA of America on Wednesday evening read: \u201cThe PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being. During this time, we are keeping Tiger in our thoughts and prayers, with sincere hope for his strength, comfort, and recovery.<\/p>\n \u201cTiger has meant so much to our Association and to the game of golf. Since his Ryder Cup debut in 1997, he has been an enduring part of the PGA of America family. His connection to our PGA of America Golf Professionals, and his lasting impact on the sport, have inspired generations and profoundly shaped the game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe commend Tiger for prioritizing his long-term health and deeply respect the courage it takes to make such a personal decision.<\/p>\n \u201cTiger has shared with us that he will not serve as Captain of the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup Team and we support his decision. The PGA of America will share further updates regarding the Ryder Cup Captaincy when appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n Woods is an eight-time member of the United States team, last competing in a playing capacity at Le Golf National in France in 2018. He has been on the winning side only once, however, at Brookline in 1999. Of his 37 matches he has won 13, lost 21 and tied four times. He was a non-playing vice-captain in 2016 when the U.S. retained the Cup at Hazeltine.<\/p>\n The PGA of America also offered him the captaincy in 2025 for Bethpage, but Woods eventually declined and it went to Keegan Bradley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Woods will not be the United States\u2019 Ryder Cup captain in 2027.
