Tiger Woods Pauses Golf for Treatment After DUI Arrest in Florida

His not-guilty plea sets up an April 23 court date with a jury trial request on file.

Overview

  • Tiger Woods, who was arrested after a Friday rollover crash near his Jupiter Island home, said Tuesday he will step away to seek treatment.
  • The 50-year-old pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of DUI-related driving, property damage, and refusing a legal chemical test, with arraignment set for April 23.
  • A probable-cause affidavit released Tuesday says officers found two hydrocodone pills and noted bloodshot, glassy eyes as Woods said he had been looking at his phone and changing the radio before the collision.
  • Jail records show his breath tests registered 0.000 for alcohol, and he refused a requested urine test for other substances.
  • The PGA of America said Wednesday that Woods declined the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy, and court filings indicate he also sought permission to receive medical care outside the country.
