Tiger Woods arrested on suspicion of drink driving

The American had fusion surgery to address the issue in April, and claimed last week that he hasn't "felt this good in years."

"I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again," Woods said in a statement on his website last Wednesday.

"Presently, I'm not looking ahead. 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."
