Woods: Alcohol 'not involved' in DUI arrest

Hours after he was arrested for driving under the influence, Tiger Woods issued a statement in which he attributed the incident to a mix of prescription drugs and explained that he "fully cooperated" with law enforcement.

"I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions," Woods said. "I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly."

Woods was arrested around 3 a.m. in Jupiter, Fla.
