Tiger Woods has pulled himself out of contention to captain the next U.S. Ryder Cup team, a decision that comes as the professional golfer says he is taking a step back from the sport after his most recent DUI arrest. Woods, 50, a 15-time major winner, was arrested Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, after police say his driving caused a crash that overturned his Land Rover. While no injuries were reported, police said Woods appeared sluggish and had bloodshot, glassy eyes, leading them to charge him with driving under the influence. Investigators noted that opioid pain medication was also found in the vehicle. Woods said after the crash that he would be stepping away from golf to focus on treatment—something President Donald Trump has found the time to weigh in on. In a statement on Wednesday, the PGA of America confirmed Woods had informed officials he would not captain the Ryder Cup team in Ireland. “The PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being,” the organization said.
