Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence on March 27 after being involved in a car accident. Authorities said Woods appeared lethargic and found hydrocodone pills on him, even though he blew “triple zero” on a breathalyzer.
Woods was granted permission on 1 April to travel out of the country “to enter into extensive inpatient treatment”.
“I know and understand the gravity 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 for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said. in a statement.
“I am committed to taking the time necessary to return to a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Woods has pleaded not guilty to DUI charge, but announced several days after the wreck that he would “seek treatment.” At the scene of the accident, he said he was “hoping to” play in the Masters, but his treatment put his eventual return to the court on hold.
