Details are still emerging about Tiger Woods’ arrest in the early hours of Monday morning on suspicion of drink-driving.
The 41-year-old was detained at around 3am in the Florida town of Jupiter, a short drive from his home in Hobe Sound, and reportedly spent up to eight hours in custody before being released.
Woods later issued a press release denying alcohol was involved in the arrest but, unsurprisingly, the news has sent shockwaves throughout the golfing world as the 14-time major champion’s career hit a new low.
Hunter Mahan sent a tweet saying Woods should ‘get some help’ before deleting it and clarifying what he meant – but he wasn’t the only fellow golfer that had their say.
To be clear, the news troubles me as someone who knows TW well, and I sincerely hope he finds the support he needs.

So true. Sadly he felt he didn't need any friends when he was king. And now there are none. A very sad self-destruction story. Where to now?
