Tiger Woods blew .000 on a breathalyzer when police found him asleep at the wheel

Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest Monday morning came after police officers found him asleep behind the wheel and slurring his speech once roused. However, a breathalyzer test came back negative for any traces of alcohol — furthering the golf star’s narrative his arrest was the result of an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medication.

Woods is recovering from back surgery — the fourth of his storied career — but had recently declared himself “pain free” as he worked toward a comeback. He had denied alcohol was a factor in his arrest in a statement released Monday evening.

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.

Woods’ arrest came after Jupiter, Fla. police approached his still-running car around 3 a.m. ET on Memorial Day. Once awoken, the 41-year-old was “cooperative as much as possible,” according to the police report, but “extremely slow and slurred speech” and his inability to pass a field test led to his arrest despite the lack of alcohol in his system. He told officers he was taking multiple prescriptions, including a pair of painkillers.

He was released on his own recognizance later that morning. Woods is scheduled to be arraigned July 5.
