Despite initial reports that police had smelled alcohol on his breath, Woods later released a statement saying alcohol was not involved and his behavior stemmed from an "unexpected reaction to prescribed medications." The police report corroborated Woods' statement, as he blew a .000 on a breathalyzer test.
Woods, 41, is a 14-time major champion and 79-time PGA Tour winner, second all-time. However, he hasn't won a tournament since 2013 and has not won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open. He is in the midst of a recovery from successful spinal fusion surgery and had been hoping to make another comeback on the PGA Tour.
"I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again," Woods wrote on his personal blog just seven days ago, five days before his arrest.
Woods also declared in the post, which came about a month after his fusion surgery, that "I haven't felt this good in years." Unfortunately, it appears that Woods' personal issues may go beyond back trouble.
