Tiger Woods arrested on suspicion of drink driving

Woods is no stranger to car accidents, after a crash in 2009 led to the emergence of his highly-publicised sex scandal, which sparked a downward spiral in the American’s career.

The 41-year-old’s last major win came at the US Open in 2008, and he hasn’t threatened at a major since then. Woods has missed all major tournaments over the past two years thanks to a back injury.

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.”
