Tiger Woods was arrested on charges of driving under the influence in Jupiter, Florida on Monday morning.

The legendary golfer was taken into custody at 3 a.m. Palm Beach County Jail records indicted that he was released from custody at 10:50 a.m.

Below is a timeline of his recent troubles dating back to a Thanksgiving accident in 2009:

November 2009

Woods is injured in a car accident on November 27. He hit a fire hydrant and a tree in his driveway in Orlando, Florida. The National Enquier alleges that Woods had an affair with a New York night club hostess. Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, smashed the window of Woods’ car to pull her husband out. Woods takes responsibility for the accident. On November 30, Woods is issued a traffic citation for careless driving and is fined $164.

December 2009

US Weekly reports that a cocktail waitress claimed to have a 31-month affair with Woods. The golfer apologizes and says that he ‘let my family down.” Other women, including a Las Vegas club promoter and a porn star, start to come forward with their own stories of affairs with Woods. He announces an “indefinite break” from gold and apologizes for his infidelity. Nordegren moves out of their home around the holidays. Woods checks into a sex addiction clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on December 30.
