Tiger Woods told authorities he was looking down at his phone while changing radio stations before the collision with a truck last Friday

Tiger Woods has turned down the role of United States Ryder Cup captain next year in Ireland, the PGA of America has announced.

The 50-year-old was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after clipping a truck and rolling his car in Florida on Friday.

Woods, who was also charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, submitted a written plea of not guilty via his lawyers on Tuesday.

Following the crash, the 15-time major champion said he is stepping away from professional golf to seek treatment and concentrate on his health.
