Golf icon Tiger Woods announced he is stepping away from the sport to focus on treatment and his health following a late March car crash that has raised legal and medical questions about the future of his career. In a public statement released Monday just days after the incident, Woods acknowledged the gravity of the situation and said he would be taking time away from competition to address underlying issues. “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.
