6 years, 11 months ago - May 30, 2017

Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Monday morning. The famous golfer was booked at 3 a.m. local time in Jupiter, Florida, where Woods owns a home. He was released around 10:50 a.m., according to the local NBC News affiliate.

"I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved," Woods said in a statement, according to USA Today golf reporter Steve DiMeglio.

"What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly."

Woods, 41, hasn't won a major golf title since 2008. He had recently undergone back surgery and was focusing on rehabbing, reported CNN.
