Tiger Woods arrested for suspected drink driving
Former world No.1 golfer Tiger Woods has been arrested in Florida and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to an online Palm Beach County Police report.
Woods, a 14-time major winner, was taken into custody at about 3am Monday morning local time near his Jupiter Island home, booked at 7:18am and released hours later.
Woods, who is still recovering from back surgery in April, said last week that he felt better than he had in years and had no plans to retire.
“Presently, I’m not looking ahead,” Woods wrote on his website.
“I can’t twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals.”
Woods already lost a swathe of his major sponsors when allegations about affairs started to come to the surface in 2009 after an early morning car accident outside his home.
Woods lost form in recent years due to injuries and the mastering of a new swing, while his ranking has plummeted to 876 after his long spell on the sidelines.
