Officials say Tiger Woods has been released on bail hours after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Officials say his Land Rover clipped a truck and rolled onto its side. The sheriff's office says he was released from jail late Friday. Florida law required that he spend at least eight hours in jail before he could post bail. He was not injured in the crash. Sheriff John Budensiek says Woods had been traveling at “high speeds” on a residential road and after the crash showed “signs of impairment." Woods’ manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking comment.
Tiger Woods is out of jail and headed for more uncertainty. The first step are legal issues stemming from his Friday arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence after a car crash in Florida. Authorities said they determined he was impaired by medication and Woods was jailed when he refused to take a urine test. The arrest comes at a bad time. Woods is deeply involved in reshaping the PGA Tour. He was days away from deciding whether to be Ryder Cup captain. And he's scheduled to appear with Masters chairman Fred Ridley on April 5 to celebrate the opening of a golf course project.
Tiger Woods says he’ll step away and seek treatment after his SUV crash in Florida. Woods made his comments Tuesday, four days after the crash that led to his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Woods pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in his driving under the influence case. The plea came hours after a sheriff’s report said he had pain pills in his pocket and showed signs of impairment at the crash scene last week. I’s the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, he announced a leave after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando.
