Body camera footage released in 2017 shows golfer Tiger Woods expressing shock and confusion after being arrested for driving under the influence in Florida. The incident occurred in the early hours of May 29, 2017, near his home in Jupiter.
In the video, Woods, who was found asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz, can be heard telling officers he did not know where he was. He stated he was taking several prescription medications, including Vicodin, and struggled to perform field sobriety tests.
Woods later pleaded guilty to reckless driving in October 2017. He entered a diversion program, which required him to complete community service and attend a DUI education course. The arrest was unrelated to alcohol; toxicology reports showed a combination of medications in his system.
This incident was a significant personal and professional setback for the golf champion, who later underwent surgery for back pain related to his medication use. He has since returned to professional golf, including participating in major tournaments.
