Tiger Woods Arrested On DUI Charge

Police say golf great Tiger Woods has been arrested on a DUI charge in Florida.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says on its website that Woods was booked into a county jail around 7 a.m. on Monday.

Jail records show Woods had been arrested by police in Jupiter. He was released just before 11 a.m. on his own recognizance. He has been charged under a Driving Under the Influence statute.

No other details were immediately available. Messages left for a Jupiter police spokeswoman were not immediately returned.

The 14-time major winner is likely out for the entire 2017 PGA Tour season after he underwent back surgery in April. It was Woods' fourth procedure on his troublesome back since 2009.
