Tiger Woods 'stepping away' from golf for 'period of time' to seek treatment and 'focus on health' after car crash arrest

Tiger Woods has confirmed he will be 'stepping away for a period of time' from golf to 'seek treatment', following his latest car crash in Florida.

Woods was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) on March 27 after being involved in a crash, where his Land Rover rolled over following a collision with a pick-up truck.

The 50-year-old was held under Florida law for the mandatory eight hours before being released on bail, with an incident report - released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on March 31 - revealing Woods admitted to looking at his phone moments before the crash.

Martin County court documents showed Woods formally skipped the initial court appearance but entered a written plea of not guilty via his lawyers and demanded a jury trial, hours after a sheriff's report said he showed signs of impairment at the scene.
