Golf star Tiger Woods said on Tuesday that he was stepping away to seek treatment and focus on his health after he was arrested on charges of driving under influence (DUI) following his rollover car crash in Florida last week.

"I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself ​in today," he said in a statement published on social media platform X.

"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."

Tiger Woods pleads not guilty

Woods was driving his Land Rover last Friday when it clipped a pickup truck and rolled over on its side near his Jupiter Island home.

No injuries were reported in the incident but the 50-year-old golfer was forced to exit his vehicle from the passenger's side door.

Officers at the scene assessed him to be impaired and found two opioid pain pills in his pocket.
