Tiger Woods is arrested for 3am DUI in Florida

Tiger Woods was arrested on Monday in Florida on a charge of driving under the influence, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

The 41-year-old golfer was arrested around 3am on Military Trail, south of Indian Creek Parkway in Jupiter.

Arrest information shows Woods was booked into jail at 7:18am and then released on his own recognizance at 10:50am.

He faces a charge of driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. Police have yet to specify which, if not both. Florida's legal limit for blood alcohol is .08.  

Woods lives in the elite enclave of Jupiter Island, but was driving southbound, away from his home at the time.

TMZ reports that Woods was driving a 2015 Mercedes. Cops originally planned to tow the vehicle before a friend of Woods retrieve the vehicle.

This is the second time that Woods has been caught driving under the influence.

The former world number one has been out of the game thanks to a back injury. But he had surgery in April and has pledged to return to the sport. Pictured above at the Farmers Insurance Open in La Jolla, California on January 26, 2017

Woods was arrested in Jupiter, Florida around 3am - not far from his mansion in the elite enclave of Jupiter Island .

In November 2009, two days after the National Enquirer broke the story that Woods had been cheating on his then-wife Elin Nordegren with a New York City nightclub manager, Woods left home after taking an Ambien and crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant, a tree and several hedges.  However, he wasn't charged in that incident. 

Following that incident, several other women came forward, saying they too had affairs with the professional golfer - tarnishing his previously pristine image.  

A month later, he entered a 45-day therapy program and apologized for his actions, saying 'I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to'.
