Tiger Woods declines Ryder Cup captaincy after DUI, car crash

Pro Athletes in Recovery founder Randy Grimes discusses Tiger Woods’ decision to seek drug treatment following his DUI arrest on ‘Fox & Friends.’

Team USA will not have Tiger Woods as a captain at the next Ryder Cup, after Woods' latest controversy. 

Woods formally turned down the Ryder Cup captaincy Wednesday as he steps away from golf activities after he entered a not guilty plea to suspicion of driving under the influence. Woods' SUV clipped the back of a trailer and flipped on its side last week on a residential road near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida.

The Ryder Cup decision by the PGA of America was not a surprise given the last five chaotic days involving Woods dating to his Friday arrest.

"The PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being," the statement said. "We commend Tiger for prioritizing his long-term health and deeply respect the courage it takes to make such a personal decision."

The PGA of America added that Woods "has shared with us" that he will not be captain.

Woods posted a statement Tuesday night saying that he was stepping away indefinitely "to seek treatment and focus on my health."

A motion filed Wednesday by his attorney, Douglas Duncan, asked a judge that Woods be allowed to travel outside the country to begin "comprehensive inpatient treatment."

Duncan said the recommendation from Woods’ doctor was based on the golfer’s "complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised.
