Golf star Tiger Woods was arrested on a drink-driving charge in Florida early this morning.

Palm Beach County Police did not release the full detail of the arrest but the golfer was processed and released a few hours later.

The 41-year-old has been recovering from recent back surgery and last blogged about his health on 24 may. He wrote that the surgery had relieved terrible pain and that he hadn’t “felt this good in years”.

He said the outlook for a return to competitive golf was “positive” but that he was not in a “hurry”.
