Tiger Woods’ bleary-eyed mugshot released after DUI arrest
Tiger Woods has been pictured for the first time since his DUI arrest after the police released a bleary-eyed mugshot of the golf legend.
Woods, 50, was put behind bars on Friday afternoon after he tried to overtake a truck and trailer at high speed on Jupiter Island, clipping the back of the vehicle and tipping his own SUV onto its side.
After clambering out of the passenger side window of his vehicle, Woods refused to give a urine sample to cops and was arrested for DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
He was transported to Martin County Public Safety Complex where he was booked at around 3pm, and his latest mugshot taken.
Cops released the image to the public shortly after 10pm, with Woods seen in a blue golf polo shirt, his eyes puffy and bloodshot.
The 15-time major champion remains behind bars in Florida, with Sheriff John Budensiek earlier confirming that he would be required to spend at least eight hours in prison before being allowed to leave on bail.

Speaking to reporters, the sheriff said of Woods’ jail time: ‘It doesn’t matter who you are, if you break the law we’re gonna follow the law. That’s a really easy path to take.
‘Now as far as being in the jail, we’re gonna make sure he’s safe. We’re not gonna put him in general population, he’s not gonna be with other inmates that can try and hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did.
‘He’ll pay the price, but he’s not gonna pay the price by getting punished in jail. He was not injured. He was lethargic on scene, but we believe that was because of what he was intoxicated on.’
