Tiger Woods, following a two-car crash last Friday that led to a DUI arrest, said Tuesday night that he is “stepping away” to seek treatment and “focus on my health.”
The 15-time major winner’s announcement came over X, in a two-paragraph release. It reads as follows:
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. 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.”
