 Body camera footage released in Tiger Woods rollover car crash: 'I'm being arrested?'

Body camera footage has been released showing Tiger Woods' arrest for driving under the influence following his rollover crash in Florida last week.

The footage from the Martin County Sheriff's Office shows the legendary golfer undergoing a field sobriety test, being placed into handcuffs and then driven from the scene in the back of the patrol vehicle following Friday's crash.

One of the first deputies to arrive at the scene is seen talking to a man who says he pulled up after the incident and that no one is in the vehicle, which is seen on its side.

"Who's involved?" the deputy asks.

"It's Tiger Woods," the man says.

"Oh, s---, all right," the deputy says.

When a deputy responds to conduct a field sobriety test as part of a DUI investigation, Woods tells her he was "looking down at my phone, about ready to change the radio station," when the crash occurred.

He tells the deputy that he had no alcohol to drink that day and takes "a few" medications, several of which are redacted in the video. He says he does not take any illegal substances.

He is seen hiccuping throughout the field sobriety test, at the end of which he is placed in handcuffs, with the deputy telling him she believes his "normal faculties are impaired" due to an "unknown substance."

"I'm being arrested?" Woods asks.

"Yes, sir," the deputy responds, saying he is being arrested for DUI.

Woods broke his silence about the crash on Tuesday, saying in a statement, "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," he said.

On Wednesday, a Marin County judge granted Woods permission to travel out of the U.S. to begin "comprehensive inpatient treatment," court records show.

Woods won't participate in the Masters, which begins April 9, tournament officials said.

The PGA Tour said in a statement, "Our focus is on his health and well‑being. Tiger continues to have our full support as he takes this important step."
