‘It’s not alcohol, but a mix of medications,’ claims Tiger Woods after driving arrest
Troubled star claims he didn’t realise the mix of medications had affected him so strongly
Pro golfer Tiger Woods “took responsibility” for an “unexpected reaction” to medication after his arrest on a DUI charge in Jupiter, Florida.
Woods was arrested early on Monday by Jupiter police, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office booking blotter.
Late on Monday, Woods released a statement about the incident, saying he understood the severity of his actions.
“I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realise the mix of medications had affected me so strongly,” the statement says.
He went on to apologise to his family, friends and fans. “I expect more from myself, too. I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.”
He thanked the police for their professionalism. “I fully cooperated with law enforcement,” he said in the statement.
