Tiger Woods to undergo treatment after not guilty plea in DUI case

Tiger Woods said he is stepping away to seek treatment, four days after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He will miss the Masters for the second straight year. "This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery," Woods said in social media posts. Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida on Tuesday, hours after a sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side. The online court docket for Martin County showed Woods entered a written plea of not guilty and planned to waive his April 23 arraignment hearing. It's the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person. That lasted

Tiger Woods granted bail hours after suspected DUI crash arrest at scene

Tiger Woods was released on bail late Friday, hours after his Land Rover clipped a truck, rolled onto its side and the golfer was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, officials said. Woods had been traveling at "high speeds" on a residential road and after the crash showed "signs of impairment," Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said, adding that investigators believe he had taken some kind of medication or drug. He described Woods as lethargic and said he agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and was arrested. Florida law required that he spend at least eight hours in jail before he could post bail. Woods, who was not injured in the crash, had been held separate from others at the jail, Budensiek said. "He's not going to be with other inmates that could hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did," he said. "He'll pay the price, but he's not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail." Woods' manage

Tiger Woods released hours after arrest at crash scene on suspicion of DUI

Golfer Tiger Woods showed signs of impairment Friday at the scene of a car crash in which he struck another vehicle and rolled his Land Rover, authorities said. Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said Woods was not injured. The crash occurred just after 2 pm not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island. Woods' manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking information. This was at least the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation. Woods has played 11 tournaments since that 2021 crash, not finishing closer than within 16 shots of the winner the four times he finished 72 holes. He also was arrested on a DUI charge in 2017 when south Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of his car that was pa

Tiger Woods withdraws from signature event following mother's passing

Tiger Woods abruptly withdrew from the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, saying he was still processing the death of his mother. Kultida Woods died unexpectedly last Tuesday at the age of 80. I planned to tee it up this week, but I'm just not ready, Woods posted on social media. I did my best to prepare, knowing it's what my mom would have wanted, but I'm still processing her loss. Woods, the tournament host of the Genesis Invitational, said he hoped to be at Torrey Pines later in the week, adding that he appreciates the continued kindness since my Mom's passing. It was a mild surprise when Woods, who has not played on the PGA Tour since the British Open last summer at Royal Troon, entered the $20 million signature event. The tour created a special exemption category for him in the signature events. He was replaced in the field by Jake Knapp. Woods had flown to Washington a week ago for a meeting with President Donald Trump, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Adam Scott, o

Tiger Woods says he still has the fire to keep his career running

A distant shadow of the once dominant golfer, Tiger Woods believes that "fire still burns" inside him to compete against the best in the world, but the 15-time major winner admitted that taking his injury-ravaged body to optimum fitness level has become a massive challenge. Woods has not competed since missing the Open in July and underwent a back surgery in September, hence the American will not be seen in action in the Hero World Challenge, starting here from Thursday. "The fire still burns to compete. The difference is the recovery of the body. It is not what it used to be. I still love doing it, I love competing. That's never going to leave," Woods told the media here in an interaction on Tuesday. Woods admitted that at 48, Father Time is catching up with him fast. "As far as the recovery process, and doing it again and again and again and doing it consistently at a high level, I can't. "For some reason the body just won't recover like it used to. That's part of age and part o

Tiger Woods will be integral member of Ryder Cup team: US captain Johnson

Whether Tiger Woods makes it to Italy or not for next year's Ryder Cup, he'll be an integral member of the U.S. team, captain Zach Johnson said Tuesday at the year-to-go ceremonies. Given who he is and what he's all about, I can tell you right now, I don't know if he'll be here next year, but he'll be a part of this team in some capacity, Johnson said. He already is, practically. I can't put this mildly he loves the Ryder Cup. He has made it a priority of his and certainly of Team USA. He wants to be a part of it as best he can. Woods was a player on eight Ryder Cup teams and a vice captain in 2018. But he broke bones in his right leg and ankle in a February 2021 car crash outside Los Angeles. Next year's event will be held on the hilly Marco Simone course outside Rome. Obviously he's gone through some things as of late that make it difficult, whether it's travel or what have you, but he and I will be in constant communication, Johnson said. He has great ideas. He is great at ..

Tiger Woods & son's 11 straight birdies fall short of Daly duo

Tiger Woods might not be ready for tour-level golf. He can still deliver quite a show. In a remarkable return from a car crash 10 months ago that badly damaged his right leg, Woods and 12-year-old son Charlie set a tournament record with 11 straight birdies and pushed John Daly and his college son all the way to the finish Sunday in the PNC Championship. Daly and John Daly II, a freshman at Arkansas, shot 57 in the scramble format and won by two shots. It might have been the widest Woods ever smiled after a runner-up finish. The fact that I'm able to have this opportunity this year even a couple weeks ago we didn't really know whether or not I would be doing this, Woods said. But here we are. And we had just best time ever. The birdie streak began on the seventh hole when Woods hit a half-wedge into a foot. Charlie holed a 10-footer on the next hole, stooping to pick up the marker before the ball was even in the cup, another moment where the confident son looked a lot like his ..

Tiger Woods said to be 'crazy good' as he prepares for golf return

The father of Justin Thomas got the first look at Tiger Woods playing a round of golf since his car crash 10 months ago and saw more than he expected. It's crazy how good he's hitting and far he's hitting for what he's been through, Mike Thomas said Thursday at the PNC Championship. It's impressive where he's at. Next up for Woods is playing in front of an audience. It's one thing for the 15-time major champion to play with 12-year-old son Charlie, with Mike Thomas along for the ride, last week near his home in south Florida. It's another to tee it up in front of thousands of spectators and on network TV. Only 10 months ago, Woods shattered bones in his right leg, ankle and foot when the SUV he was driving along a winding suburban road in Los Angeles crashed through a median and down a hill. Woods was immobilized for three months in a makeshift hospital bed in his house. He went from crutches to slowly walking. He was hitting balls on the back end of the range at Albany during
