News of Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest broke early on Tuesday morning, Australian time, but there’s been a steady stream of information to come from the Jupiter (Florida) Police Department since. First details about the arrest, then a more detailed report on Tuesday and finally, photos of his damaged car and dashcam video overnight.
The Palm Beach Post‘s Hannah Winston was one of the first to share parts of the dashcam footage that show a clearly impaired Woods following directions from cops. Here are some short clips of Woods going through some field sobriety tests, and at times, visibly struggling:

After being searched for weapons, Woods mentions he has “a few screws in the body”, in reference to his surgeries:
