Police in Jupiter, Florida, released dashcam video of Tiger Wood prior to the golfer being arrested on a DUI charge early Monday morning.

The video shows that Woods is confused as to his location and very unsteady as an officer puts him through a field sobriety test, confirming details of the police report released earlier in the week.

As stated in the police report, the video backs up that Woods “had extremely slow and slurred speech” and struggled with several roadside tasks. The report noted that the golfer changed his story about where he was going and where he was coming from, originally saying that he was coming from “L.A.” and on his way to “Orange County” before stating that he had no idea where he was. Woods was arrested in Jupiter.

On the video, Woods is heard being told by the officer to tie his left shoe, but when he tries to support himself on the hood of the police cruiser to tie it (he begins with his right shoe, which was also untied), he is unable to successfully tie either. Eventually, the officer has Woods take off his shoes before he performs the field sobriety tests.

Asked by the officer to follow a light with his eyes, Woods is unable to perform the task. The officer ends that test and asks Woods to stand on the white line to see if he can walk straight. Woods is seen being unable to stay balanced while standing and then can’t walk the line without stepping off it several times.

Woods also is asked to say the alphabet from A to Z in a slow non-rhythmic manner. Asked if he remembers the instructions, Woods says, “not to sing the national anthem backwards.” He then begins to walk down the road and looks disoriented and asks, “What are we doing?” He later attempts to recite the alphabet, and after completion, he is asked to put his hands behind his back, is handcuffed and is placed under arrest.

According to a more detailed police report issued , both tires on the driver’s side of Woods’ Mercedes were flat at the time of his arrest, and there was damage to the front and rear bumpers.

The 14-time major champion was taken into custody at 2:49 a.m. ET on Monday, booked at 7:18 a.m. and released on his own recognizance at 10:50 a.m.

Woods told police he was taking several prescriptions, including two painkillers. Police said Woods was “cooperative as much as possible” and that he agreed to take a breath test and a urine test. He blew a 0.00 in the breath test.
