Tiger Woods, shown in February, has played only twice this year. He was arrested for driving under the influence last month. (Kamran Jebreili/Associated Press) Three weeks after he was arrested for driving under the influence, Tiger Woods said Monday night that he is seeking help for the way he handles medication for his chronic back problems and for a lifelong sleeping disorder, a striking admission from the 14-time major champion golfer in the week before he is due to host his Washington-area PGA Tour stop. “I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” Woods said in a statement Monday. “I want to thank everybody for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.” Woods, 41, has only played twice this year — missing one cut and withdrawing once. He underwent his fourth back surgery in April. His arrest came in the e...

Otto Warmbier, an American college student who was detained in North Korea for 17 months, died Monday, just six days after he was returned to his family in Ohio. He was 22. Warmbier's family issued a statement immediately following his death, blaming North Koreans for the poor physical and mental condition Warmbier was in when he arrived back in the States. "When Otto returned to Cincinnati late on June 13th he was unable to speak, unable to see and unable to react to verbal commands," the statement reads. "He looked very uncomfortable – almost anguished. Although we would never hear his voice again, within a day the countenance of his face changed – he was at peace. He was home and we believe he could sense that." The University of Virginia student was charged with committing a "hostile act" against North Korea in March 2016, two months after he allegedly attempted to steal a propaganda poster from the hotel where he was staying. (He was visiting...

According to multiple outlets, Mayfield, who was arrested Feb. 25 for disorderly conduct, public intoxication, fleeing and resisting arrest, reached a plea deal last week in Fayetteville, Arkansas, district court.
