After he escaped from his Land Rover, Tiger was reportedly "limping and stumbling to the right" during a sobriety test, and told officers that he took medication for pains in his back and legs following several surgeries. His most recent operation was a lumbar disc replacement surgery in October 2025, marking his seventh time under the knife for a back injury.

Tiger revealed that he was leaving the US to seek treatment for his health troubles in a statement on X 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," he began. 

"This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery. 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."
