Tiger Woods steps away from golf after rollover crash and DUI arrest
Tiger Woods announced on Tuesday that he is stepping away from golf after he was arrested for a suspected DUI following a rollover crash in his hometown of Jupiter, Florida, earlier this month.
Woods was arrested for a misdemeanor DUI after he refused to take a urinalysis test after he was involved in a single-car accident where the vehicle Woods was driving rolled over. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday.
"I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today," Woods wrote in a statement posted on X. "I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well being and work toward lasting recovery.
"I'm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally," he added. "I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time."
