Newly released bodycam footage showed the immediate aftermath of the Tiger Woods' car crash in Florida last week that resulted in the golf legend's shocking DUI arrest. 

Woods was involved in a two-vehicle crash in which his car rolled onto its driver's side, resulting in him having to escape out of the passenger door.

The 15-time major champion was charged with driving under the influence, despite blowing "triple-zeroes" on a breathalyzer. Woods was found with pills in his pocket, a moment that was captured on camera.

Friday’s arrest marked Woods' second DUI arrest within the last decade. In 2017, he was taken into custody, also in Jupiter Island, after taking prescription drugs and being asleep behind the wheel of a running car at 3 a.m. 

Woods, who may have been vying for his sixth green jacket next week, announced on Tuesday that he would not return to the golf course just yet and instead "seek treatment" after the crash.

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

Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI. He was also charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a test.

The crash came just days after Woods made his return to some aspect of competitive golf after rupturing his Achilles last year, as he played in the TGL finals on Monday. The crash occurred 13 days before the Masters, which Woods will now officially miss. It was not yet known if he would play, prior to the crash.
