Op amp gain decreases after some point as I try to increase it.

I used OPA 544 to construct this non-inverting amp circuit. Except I used 2.7Kohm as R2 and replaced R1 with a 1K potentiometer. My supply is +24V -24V. The gain should increase as I decrease the value of potentiometer but after gain exceeds 5, output starts to get trimmed from the bottom and gain starts to decrease until output disappears. Really new to electronics and sorry if this is a simple issue. Btw I'm using a sinus wave well within the bandwith and RL is 160 ohm. I'm inputting the signal from the audio jack of my pc. Also the clipping occurs at gain of 5 regardless of input amplitude. If I input Vp-p= 1V it gets clipped at Vout p-p=5V and If I input Vp-p= 2V it gets clipped at Vout p-p=10V and so on.
