Tiger Woods has announced he is taking a break from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health. The decision comes after his arrest for driving under the influence following a single-vehicle crash in Florida on March 27th.
Woods pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges related to the incident, which occurred when his SUV rolled over on a two-lane road near Jupiter Island.
The sporting legend stated he will be absent from the sport “for a period of time.” Fans had anticipated his return to competition at the Masters this month, but that is now uncertain.
Woods released a statement Tuesday confirming his need to prioritize his well-being and seek treatment.
