Yikes.
Tiger Woods was pulled over on the side of the road and asleep at the wheel of his 2015 Mercedes when cops discovered him before his DUI arrest, TMZ reports.
The golfer was approximately 8 miles away from his home with the motor running and his blinker flashing, and when police approached him, he had "extremely slowed and slurred speech." He had no clue where he was, initially telling authorities he was "coming from L.A. California from golfing" before changing his story.
The athlete failed both the one-leg stand and nose touch field sobriety station and was taken to the station, where he actually passed a breathalyzer test. According to the report, four prescription medications were listed under medical conditions - Solarex, Vicodin, Torix and Vioxx. So why all the meds? Woods had recently had knee and achilles surgery.
Woods has since broken his silence and said he had "an unexpected reaction to prescription medications" and "didn't realize the mix of medications affected me so strongly."
He's due in court in July.
