Woods admitted to looking at his phone and fiddling with the radio before clipping a truck, causing his Land Rover to roll. He passed a Breathalyzer test but refused a urine test. Following the incident, Tiger Woods announced he is stepping away from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health, which means he will miss the Masters Tournament.
