Tiger Woods is stepping away from golf “to seek treatment” following his DUI arrest this past Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, following a rollover crash.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said in a statement posted on social media. “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. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Woods’ statement comes after entering a plea of not guilty, waiving his arraignment, and demanding a trial with a jury on Tuesday.
This is a developing story. More to come.
