Tiger Woods was handcuffed last week after a lengthy field sobriety test.
Woods gave “triple zeros” on a Breathalyzer but still underwent testing because of his “lethargic” movements and other signs of impairment, authorities said.
Woods told authorities before field sobriety tests that he underwent seven back surgeries and “more than 20 leg surgeries.” He told authorities he “takes some” prescription medications. In 2021, he suffered an accident that caused serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course throughout the year.

He also mentioned that his ankle was fused and he walks with a limp due to the injuries. Due to the nature of his injuries, authorities forced him to perform the exercises sitting down.
The first exercise Woods did was follow a finger with his eyes, which he had difficulty with. They also told him to put his fingertips to his nose.
After alternating between the palm and back of his other hand while counting 1 and 2, another move he had trouble with, he was assigned one more exercise that included putting his fists together, clapping his hands, and counting more.
After the four exercises, an officer asked Woods to turn around and place his hands behind his back. They then handcuffed Woods.
