Tiger Woods says he has sought "professional help" to deal with his medications after he was found asleep behind the wheel of his running car.

Woods, 41, was arrested in the early hours of 29 May, slumped at the wheel of his car with the engine running near his Florida home.

He was described by police as “very dopey”, struggling to keep his eyes open and walk or speak.

He tested negative for alcohol but told police he had taken the sedative medication Xanax, in addition to later admitting at a testing facility he was also taking the powerful painkiller Vicodin.

The former world number one had surgery on his back earlier in the year, and is struggling to recover.
