		</div><p>Tiger Woods has blamed an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medicine for his driving under the influence arrest and said alcohol was not involved.</p>
<p>The 41-year-old 14-time major golf champion, who is recovering from back surgery, apologised to his fans on Tuesday and said he took “full responsibility” for the incident.</p>
<p>He spent nearly four hours in Palm Beach County Jail after being arrested in Jupiter, Florida, a short drive from his beach-front home in the early hours of Monday.</p>
<p>In a statement, Woods said: <i>“I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions.</p>
<p>“I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.</p>
<p>“I didn’t realise the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.</p>
<p>“I would like to apologise with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans. I expect more from myself too.</p>
<p>“I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.”</i></p>
<p>An arrest report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Woods was detained for a DUI but did not specify whether it was drugs or alcohol that was suspected of being involved.</p>
<p>A mugshot of the golf star shows him unshaven and wearing a white T-shirt.<br />
He was released from the jail without having to pay bail at 10.50am on Monday.</p>
<p>Woods previously became embroiled in scandal when his extramarital affairs were revealed after he crashed his SUV into a tree in 2009.</p>
<p>He has not played competitively since pulling out of the Dubai Desert Classic with back spasms at the start of February.</p>
<p>Woods underwent fusion surgery over a month ago and said in a recent post on his website that it will leave him unable to “twist” for three months.</p>
<p>He said he was focusing on rehabilitation and stressed he must give himself time to heal.</p>
<p><i>“But, I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again,”</i> he said.</p>
