Golf and winning is the only thing this guy knows. . .
Since the age of two years old, Tiger Woods has been in the public eye for his greatness in playing the game of golf. With his childhood hindered from a father pushing his son to become a legend; Tiger would later see his life change with a messy divorce and his body break down eight years ago.
Following his absence from being the best in the world, the Los Angeles icon has been looking to get his health back to normal – by any means. From getting a quick fix back surgery in 2014, the treatment only worsened his mental and physical state. Last night, those comeback plans came to a halt, as he was found asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes on Memorial Day morning.
With the car running in park and the brake lights still on, local Florida authorities of Jupiter Island soon gave him a breath test, which he blew a 0.00 – as well as taking a urine test soon after.
However, due to his slurred speech and ability to stand on his own, he was formally charged for a DUI – running his parked vehicle. With social media and news outlets all believing alcohol was the cause, Tiger went to reveal no drinks were involved. Mr. Woods issued a statement today saying –
“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 had affected me so strongly.”
With his episode over for the time being, we’re hopeful he takes this reaction serious, because it would be heartbreaking to see another icon passing away to prescription painkillers.
