GOLF PRO TIGER WOODS ARRESTED FOR DUI IN FLORIDA
Police say golfer Tiger Woods has been arrested on a DUI charge in Florida. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says on its website that Woods was booked into a county jail around 7 a.m. this morning (Monday, May 29, 2017). Jail records show Woods had been arrested by police in Jupiter. He was released just before 11 a.m. on his own recognizance. He has been charged under a DUI statute. According to ESPN, Woods said he has no plans to retire despite a recent back surgery.
“I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again,” Woods said.
The ESPN report also sates Woods saw his season end in early February in Dubai, where he withdrew after a first-round 77. The week before, he had missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open. He had previously sat out all of 2016 until the Hero World Challenge in December.
