Tiger Woods says he will be stepping away for a “period of time” to seek treatment and focus on his health, meaning he will miss The Masters at Augusta next week, after pleading not guilty to charges of driving under the influence following his involvement in a rollover car crash in Florida.
Woods was arrested and spent eight hours in jail before he was bailed after his Land Rover collided with a pick-up truck near his home on Friday. According to a police affidavit released earlier on Tuesday, Woods was observed by the investigating officers to be "sweating profusely" while acting "lethargic and slow" with eyes that were "bloodshot and glassy".
