‘All of sudden…boom’

What we know:

The footage, obtained by TMZ Sports, showed Woods kneeling down on the grass by the road. He told the deputy that while he was driving, he looked down at his phone, then "all of sudden, boom," Woods said. 

An apparent bystander told deputies that Woods hit the car in front of him. Martin County deputies confirmed this to be true.

DUI arrest

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods' vehicle was speeding and collided with another vehicle hauling a trailer, which resulted in Woods' vehicle overturning.

The sheriff said it appears that Woods crawled out of the vehicle window.

During a March 27 press conference, Budensiek said Woods took a breathalyzer test and passed. However, he refused to take a urinalysis. Woods was booked into jail on charges of DUI, property damage, and refusing to take the urine test, the sheriff said. Woods was seen leaving the jail around 11:30 p.m. after bonding out. He posted a $1,150 bond, court reports said.

Stepping away for treatment

In a March 31 post, Woods reported that he'd be stepping away from golf for treatment. 

"I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today," Woods said in a statement posted on social media. "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. 

"I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in 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."

This decision came after an arrest report detailed that two suspected hydrocodone pills – a painkiller – were found in Woods' pockets during the arrest. When detectives talked with Tiger Woods after his SUV flipped onto its side after a crash in Florida, detectives noted that his eyes were "bloodshot and glassy," his pupils were dilated, and his movements appeared to be slow and lethargic, according to a report from the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

On April 1, a Martin County Judge granted Woods' motion to travel – allowing him to leave the country to enter into comprehensive inpatient treatment.
