Champion golfer Tiger Woods says he’s going to “step away” and seek treatment after being charged with driving under the influence in the aftermath of a rollover car accident in Florida on Friday.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. 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,” he wrote on X Tuesday.
