Judge Allows Woods to Travel Overseas for Treatment

Woods said public scrutiny would hinder care as the PGA of America backed his decision and a Florida judge approved travel for treatment.

  • On Wednesday, Tiger Woods formally declined the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy as he steps away from golf to seek inpatient treatment; a Florida judge approved his motion to travel outside the country.
  • Following his arrest last Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, Woods' SUV overturned after clipping a trailer; he entered a not guilty plea to charges including DUI and property damage.
  • Attorney Douglas Duncan stated that "ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care," citing Woods' doctor's recommendation for treatment outside the United States.
  • The PGA of America stated, "We commend Tiger for prioritizing his long-term health," confirming Woods will not serve as captain following the organization's late March decision deadline.
  • European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has already agreed to lead his team for a third straight time, while the Ryder Cup committee maintains a contingency plan with backup candidates.
