His manager at Excel Sports, Mark Steinberg, did not respond to a request for comment Saturday on Woods’ arrest.on April 9-12, though that was looking unlikely. He turned 50 at the end of last year. “This body, it doesn’t recover like it did when it was 24, 25,” Woods said earlier this week. He also was days away from a decision on whether to be the next U.S. Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches in Ireland. Two officials from the PGA of America did not immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.the nickname of a municipal golf course where Woods’ design team created a short course to go along with a major upgrade to the public course. Woods also is the central figure as chairman of the Future Competition Committee that is reshaping the PGA Tour model of tournaments. Tour CEO Brian Rolapp predicted meaningful progress this summer.Woods waited until the summer of 2024 before deciding against being Ryder Cup captain for the 2025 matches in New York.last September, and this is not a time for another misstep. One person with knowledge of the process said the PGA of America has a backup plan of four potential candidates for the Ryder Cup committee to review if Woods declines — or if the PGA of America moves on. Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods’ Land Rover was going at a “high speed” when it clipped the trailer of a pressure cleaning truck and flipped on its side. Woods was not hurt and climbed out through the passenger window. The driver of the truck was not injured, either. “Had there been somebody moving in the opposite direction, we would not be having a conversation saying there were no injuries,” Budensiek said. “This could’ve been a lot worse.” Budensiek said investigators on the scene believe Woods had taken some kind of medication or drug. He described Woods as lethargic and said the golfer agreed to a breath test that showed “triple zeroes” — no sign of alcohol. By declining the urine test, the sheriff said, officials will never get “definitive results” about what caused the impairment., when Woods was found asleep behind the wheel of a car with the engine running, the right blinker on, two flat tires and light damage to the driver’s side.The pain medication has been standard fare for golf’s most celebrated — and wounded — player. After four knee surgeries — the last one a week after he won the U.S. Open with shredded knee ligaments and two stress fractures — Woods had four back surgeries in four years only to return. His SUV was going 84 to 87 mph in an area with a speed limit of 45 mph when it veered off a coastal road in the Los Angeles suburbs, rolled down a hill and smacked into a tree. He was not cited and Los Angeles authorities did not seek a warrant for blood samples. The injuries to his right leg and ankle were extensive — Woods later said amputation was considered — and it was remarkable he even returned to playing. Woods has never been the same as a golfer since that accident. He has played 11 tournaments in the five years since that crash. Of the four times he finished 72 holes, he hasn’t been closer than 16 shots of the winner. He shares the PGA Tour’s all-time record with 82 wins.He made his public debut at age 2 on “The Mike Douglas Show” and has been in the spotlight ever since, setting records that are likely never to be broken. He remains a central figure in golf to this day, and the scrutiny is as great as ever with so much on his plate.Ferguson has been The AP’s golf writer since 1998.
