Tiger Woods, whose dominance in golf gave way several years ago to missteps and misfortune away from the course, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence early Monday.
Woods was taken into custody at 3 a.m. in Jupiter, Fla., according to WPTV-TV of West Palm Beach. He was booked at 7:18 a.m. and released at 10:50 a.m., according to Palm Beach County jail records.
Woods released a statement Monday evening attributing the arrest to prescribed medications.
“I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved,” he said in the statement.
