Tiger Woods Takes Break After Car Crash

0:00On April 2nd, Tiger Woods is taking a break from golf to get treatment after a DUI arrest tied to a bad car crash in Florida last Friday. His land rover slammed into a truck trailer at high speed on Jupiter Island, flipped over, and he had to crawl out the passenger side. Cop said he was impaired, even though his breathalyzer showed zero alcohol. In a statement he posted Tuesday, Woods said he gets how serious this is, and needs time away to focus on his health and recovery. He's asking for privacy for him and his family, and he won't be a next week's master's tournament at all. This crash marks his third big driving incident. Back in 2021, he rode his car in Los Angeles with an empty pill bottle inside. And in 2017, Florida cops found him asleep at the wheel with drugs like Ambien and Vicodin in his system, leading him to rehab. The timing hit hard, coming right before the masters, one of golf's biggest events. Woods has battled injuries and personal issues that kept him sideline for stretches anyway.

1:00His move to step back shows he's serious about fixing whatever's going on, putting well-being first over the spotlight.
