Bodycam footage reveals Tiger Woods' surprise during his DUI arrest last week in Florida. The 15-time major champion stood stunned alongside a residential road when a deputy informed him of his arrest after his crashed vehicle rolled onto its side. Woods entered a not guilty plea despite the deputy claiming his "normal faculties were impaired" during roadside testing.

The crash occurred when Woods' speeding Land Rover clipped a truck while he looked at his phone and changed the radio station. Officers discovered two white pills in Woods' pocket, which he identified as Norco, a painkiller containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Woods maintained he had not consumed alcohol but had taken "a few" medications earlier that day.

Woods announced Tuesday he would step away indefinitely from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health. The indefinite leave marks another setback for the legendary golfer whose career has been plagued by injuries. His statement confirmed the seriousness of his situation as he prioritizes recovery over professional obligations, with no timeline provided for his potential return.
