JUPITER, Fla. - Golfer Tiger Woods was found asleep at the wheel, had to be awakened and was charged with driving under the influence early Monday morning in Jupiter, according to police. Woods said later in a written statement that prescribed medications contributed to the arrest.

 According to a probable cause affidavit, Woods said he was coming home from California and he did not know where he was. He "had changed his story of where he was going and where he was coming from," a DUI probable cause affidavit noted. He also asked how far he was from his house, the affidavit stated. 
 
 He was wearing his seat belt, his vehicle was running, the brake lights were on and the right blinker was flashing, according to the police report. Police also noted that both drivers' side tires were flat and there was minor damage to both rims and minor damage to the front driver's side bumper and rear bumper. Woods's attitude was described as cooperative and confused and his speech extremely slow and slurred. 
 
 His breath test results were .000, the affidavit stated. 
 
 Police asked Woods to take several standard road sobriety tests. He had trouble standing on one leg and putting his finger to his nose, the report stated. 
 
 When asked to recite the alphabet and if he understood, Woods said, "Yes, recite entire national anthem backward," according to the affidavit. 
 
 Police noted that after several times explaining the instructions, Woods completed the task correctly. 
 
 Woods was driving a 2015 black Mercedes-Benz when he was taken into custody at 3 a.m. on Military Trail south of Indian Creek Parkway. 
 
 Court documents say there were six witnesses to the arrest. 
 
 He was also cited for improper parking. His ticket noted his car was stopped on the roadway in the right-hand lane and right shoulder. 
 
 Palm Beach County Jail records indicate Woods, 41, a Jupiter Island resident, was booked at 7:18 a.m. He was released from custody on his own recognizance, meaning no bail money was necessary, at 10:50 a.m. 
 
 A court date for the case has been set for July 5 at 8:30 a.m. 
 
 Jack Nicklaus says he feels bad for Woods and called him a friend who needs "all our help." 
 
 
 
 Nicklaus says he last saw Woods at a dinner for past champions at the Masters, and Woods said his back was hurting, according to the Associated Press. 
 
 At a news conference Tuesday at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio, Nicklaus said he was a fan of Woods and a friend of his. "I think that he's struggling. And I wish him well," Nicklaus said. "I hope he gets out of it and I hope he plays golf again. He needs a lot of support from a lot of people, and I'll be one of them," the AP reported. 
 
 The 14-time major champion has not played since withdrawing from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February. 
 
 Ongoing back problems have sidelined his career for much of the last three years. 
 
 In April, he said in a post on his website that he underwent successful back surgery to alleviate ongoing pain in his back and leg. 
 
 On Monday evening, Woods issued a statement about his arrest: 
 
 “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. 
 
 
 
 I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans. I expect more from myself too. 
 
 
 
 I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again. 
 
 
 
 I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Department and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office for their professionalism.”

 Tiger Woods was arrested early Monday on a DUI charge in Jupiter, Florida, and spent nearly four hours in a county jail before he was released. 
 
 Woods, the 14-time major champion who ranks second with his 79 career victories on the PGA Tour, has not played for four months. He is out for the rest of the season while he recovers from his fourth back surgery. 
 
 Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI about 3 a.m. Monday in a suburban area and taken to the Palm Beach County jail, Jupiter Police spokeswoman Kristin Rightler said. He was arrested on Military Trail, south of Indian Creek Parkway. 
 
 Jail records show that 41-year-old golf great was booked into Palm Beach County jail at 7:18 a.m. and released on his own recognizance at 10:50 a.m. The jail released a booking photo of Woods in a white T-shirt. 
 
 Rightler said she did not have additional details about the circumstances leading to Woods' arrest, nor did she have any information about whether the arrest involved drugs or alcohol. She said an arrest report may be available Tuesday. 
 
 His agent at Excel Sports, Mark Steinberg, did not immediately respond to a voicemail from The Associated Press. PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said the tour would have no comment. 
 
 Woods has not been seen at a golf tournament since he opened with a 77 at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, withdrawing the next day because of back spasms. He was in Los Angeles for the Genesis Open, run by his Tiger Woods Foundation, but did not come to the course because of his back. 
 
 He was at the Masters, but only to attend the dinner for past champions. 
 
 Woods, who had been No. 1 longer than any other golfer, has not been a factor since his last victory in August 2013 as he battled through back surgeries from a week before the 2014 Masters until his most recent operation to fuse disks in his lower back a month ago. 
 
 In an update Friday on his website, Woods said the fusion surgery provided instant relief and he hasn't "felt this good in years." 
 
 It was the first time Woods has run into trouble off the golf course since he plowed his SUV into a tree and a fire hydrant outside his Windermere, Florida, home in the early morning after Thanksgiving in 2009, which led to revelations that he had multiple extramarital affairs. 
 
 A police report then showed that a Florida trooper who suspected Woods was driving under the influence sought a subpoena for the golfer's blood test results from the hospital, but prosecutors rejected the petition for insufficient information. 
 
 A witness, who wasn't identified in the report, told the trooper he had been drinking alcohol earlier. The same witness also said Woods had been prescribed two drugs, the sleep aid Ambien and the painkiller Vicodin. The report did not say who the witness was but added it was the same person who pulled Woods from the vehicle after the accident. Woods' wife has told police that she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the Cadillac Escalade to help her husband out. 
 
 He eventually was cited for careless driving and fined $164. 
 
 Woods and wife Elin Nordegren divorced in 2010. He later had a relationship with Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn from 2013 that lasted two years.

– It's not the first time Tiger Woods has made headlines for dubious reasons over a holiday: The golfer was arrested on suspicion of DUI around 3am Monday in Jupiter, Florida, reports WPTV, which notes that's where Woods resides. Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office records indicate the 41-year-old was booked shortly after 7am and released at 10:50am under his own recognizance. A police spokesperson said she had no more details about the circumstances leading to the arrest or whether drugs or alcohol were involved, but that an arrest report may be available Tuesday, the AP reports. Sports Illustrated reports the former No. 1 player in the world underwent back surgery once again in April, and hasn't hit the links competitively since February, when he pulled out of a Dubai tournament due to back problems.
