Jupiter Police have released the dashcam footage of the DUI arrest of golf star Tiger Woods. The golfer was found in his car in the early hours of Monday morning, asleep due to a prescription medicine that gave him an “unexpected reaction.”
The footage shows a confused Woods flunking the sobriety test. The golfer is polite and willing to adhere to all off the cop’s requests but, in his intoxicated state, has trouble following most directions. In the video, Woods tells the police that he has not been drinking, which is later confirmed by a Breathalyzer test.
Police found Woods asleep in his car with the engine running in the right-hand lane of the road. His blinker was on and the car had two flat tires.

When the cop asks if Woods has any clue where he is, the golfer says that he has “no idea.”
Woods, who is currently recovering from his fourth back surgery in less than five years, was prescribed the disorienting drugs for his recovery.
The 14-time major tournament winner last played golf professionally at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February. He withdrew from the tournament after experiencing back spasms.
His recovery has been progressing at a reasonable rate but it is unclear when Woods, who plans on returning to the sport, will be back on the golf course professionally.
A court arraignment for Woods’ DUI is scheduled for July 5, according to court records.
