Tiger Woods Pauses Career to Seek Treatment After Florida Crash and DUI Charge

Overview

• Tiger Woods said he will step away to get treatment and focus on his health after his arrest in Florida.
• A judge approved his plan to enter inpatient care outside the United States, according to a New York Post report.
• The police report released Tuesday described glassy eyes, heavy sweating, slow movements, and two hydrocodone pills found in his pocket.
• A breath test showed no alcohol, he refused a urine test, and he faces charges including DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to testing, with an arraignment set for April 23 in Stuart.
• He told officers he was looking at his phone and changing the radio when he hit a truck’s trailer and rolled his SUV, and no injuries were reported; hydrocodone is an opioid painkiller often prescribed for severe pain, which aligns with his history of multiple surgeries after a serious 2021 crash.
