Tiger Woods has decided not to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup Team in 2027 at Adare Manor Golf Club in Ireland, as confirmed by the PGA of America. The 2027 Ryder Cup event between the US and Europe is scheduled to be held at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, from September 17-19. Woods declined the opportunity to take on the role, a position previously held by Keegan Bradley for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
The PGA of America expressed its full support for Tiger Woods as he steps back to focus on his health and well-being. The organization extended its thoughts and prayers to Woods, wishing him strength, comfort, and a speedy recovery. Woods, a significant figure in golf, has been a vital part of the Association and the sport.
Following a car accident in Jupiter Island where he crashed his vehicle and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, Woods pleaded not guilty to the charges. Subsequently, Woods announced his decision to step away from professional golf to seek treatment and prioritize his health after the rollover car accident. The PGA of America commended Woods for his commitment to his long-term health and respected his personal decision. Woods confirmed that he would not serve as Captain of the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup Team, a decision fully supported by the PGA of America.
The PGA of America mentioned that updates on the Ryder Cup captaincy would be shared as appropriate. Tiger Woods has participated in the Ryder Cup eight times for the USA, with his first appearance dating back to 1997 and his most recent in 2018. Despite his multiple appearances, Woods has only secured victory once in the biennial tournament, back in 1999 at Brookline in Massachusetts.
