Tiger Woods announced he is stepping away to seek treatment following a DUI arrest after a vehicle crash in Florida. He will miss the Masters for the second year. Woods pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge and plans to waive his arraignment hearing. Deputies found pain pills on him, and he showed signs of impairment during the incident. This is not the first time Woods has taken a leave after a crash, having previously done so in 2009 to work on personal issues.
