Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in the early hours of Monday morning in Jupiter, Florida.
According to WPTV, Woods was pulled over at 3am. The golfer was taken into custody in Jupiter, where the 14-time major champion lives. Palm Beach County jail records obtained by WPTV say Woods was released from custody at 10.50am on Monday. https://twitter.com/NIRPUmbrella/status/869221782942863360Woods 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."
