News of Tiger Woods' DUI went viral on Monday (May 29), but the famed golf player claims that alcohol didn't play a part in him being disoriented. In a statement obtained by TMZ, Woods claimed that he was on medication at the time of his arrest.
"I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions. 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 affected me so strongly. I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends, and the fans. I expect more from myself, too. I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again. I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Dept. and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for their professionalism.”
Tiger had back surgery for the fourth time on April 20, which would explain the powerful medication he claims he was on at the time of his arrest.
