Reporter this is the nowinfamous mugshot of the oncerevered titan of golf, tiger woods. After Police Arrested him yesterday for suspicion of driving under the influence. That mugshot, it was all over the internet, all over the news. Thats not going away any time soon. There it is. A win for the rk contrast from his recordbreaking career on the green. If i say the name tiger woods, you picture a man in that red shirt and black pants sunday after sunday winning major tournament after major tournament. Then you see that picture. And everything you thought about tiger woods does a 180. Reporter leaving some to question whether any hope of a tiger woods comeback has been dashed forever. It all happened just before 3 00 a. M. On monday near woods jupiter, florida, mansion. It was right here where a Police Officer found woods asleep at the wheel in his black mercedes, stopped there in the rate lane, the car running, blinker flashing, brake lights illuminated. Police say dash cam video will be released but today new details from the police report. There was damage to the car, to the front bumper, flat tires on the right. The officer who arrested woods reported his speech was extremely slowed and slurred and although he was confused, he was cooperative. But results of two breathalyzer tests showed that woods did not have alcohol in his system. Last night the 41yearold golfer said in a statement that what happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didnt realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly. Its such a window into where tiger woods apparently is right now. It screams out trouble, despair. Just its the exact opposite of the visual that we usually have for tiger woods. Reporter in his statement, woods has already taken some responsibility. Apologizing to his family and fans saying, i expect more from myself too. And you saw that apology to his family, his fans. That is someone who clearlys j idea, what just happened. He understands that what happened wasnt a good look for him. But i think he also, look, i ha the right way. I have to protect my image a little bit. Reporter today longtime rival and friend Jack Nicklaus speaking out in support. I feel bad for tiger. Tigers a friend. Hes been great for the game of golf. I think he needs all our help and we wish him well. Reporter the arrest is another blow for woods to struggled to get back on top of his game. February he pulled out of two tournaments citing trouble with his back. Im trying to get back and play. Reporter in march he talked with abcs Michael Strahan about his challenges. I need to get back physically. I know the mind is sharp. I just need to get the body willing to do it. Thats the hard part is getting the prep time in. I havent been able to get as much prep time in train like i used to. Practice like i used to. Its been harder. Reporter in recent years woods has struggled with back pain, undergoing four surgeries including one last month. That beautiful swing that was so powerful that carried him to so many championships. That swing has now ended up betraying him. When your back goes out, where you have to have not one, not two, not three, but four surgeries on the same spot in your back, well then its trouble. Reporter a setback particularly troubling for someone who change the game of golf through his athleticism. No golfer in the history of the sport focussed in on fitness as much as tiger woods. The reason why he was able to drive the ball so straight and so far, far beyond any other golfer, was not just because of his age, but because he put the work in at the gym. Reporter woods an unlikely sports hero. In 1997, he became the first africanamerican and the youngest player to win the masters. Woods has won 14 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus. He was invincible. This is the guy whoated other golfers in a noncontact sport. The driving force, his father earl, a former green beret who started tiger golfing when he was 11 months old. Tiger woods and his father, earl woods. Reporter and trotted his prodigy soon onto various tv shows. The mike douglas show at age 2. And thats incredible at age 5. Tigers dad was his coach, his publicist, and his manager. The extraordinarily close relationship between father and son evident in a 1993 interview with abcs john kequinones. How would you describe your relationship with tiger . Best friend. Best friend . Thats it. No ifs, ands or buts about it, hes my best friend. Earl meant everything to tiger woods. The driving force behind tiger. Every ounce of his competitiveness. Everything that you see with tiger and the game of golf. It came from earl woods. Reporter earls death in 2006 seems to have shattered his son. I dont think we can underestimate the impact of losing your father would have on an athlete. Reporter setting in motion an epic fall from grace. That came to a head in 2009 in another incident involving woods behind the wheel. His nowinfamous thanksgiving weekend suv crash in front of his house. The messy details of his private life came spilling out in the tabloids. A number of Extramarital Affairs ultimately landed woods in rehab for sex addiction and led to a divorce from his wife elin nordegren. I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior. Reporter the public scandal also cost him millions of dollars in sponsorships, devastating for an athlete as famous for his endorsements as for his golf game. He was Brand Ambassador for wheaties, buick, american expre express. He is also a cultural icon. He transcended golf. He transcended sports. I am tiger woods. Reporter everyone wanted to be him, especially his young fans, as picked up on in his first ad for nike golf. Im tiger woods. Im tiger woods. Im tiger woods. Reporter which signed the golfer back in 1996 and has so far stuck by him throughout his scandals. In 2013, woods made a comeback, winning five tournaments and named the pga tour player of the year for the 11th time. By 2016, according to forbes, he had an estimated net worth of 740 million. That last scandal in 2009 cost him tens of millions of dollars worth in endorsements. So this could potentially affect his current endorsements too, right . It might. N a good place right now with sponsorships. Just because hes not playing golf. So hes not as visible. They can wait until the entire story unfolds and then make a decision afterwards. Reporter but going through these highs and lows, his life perfespective seemed to have changed. My priorities have changed a lot. My kids now dominate my life. And i think thats a good thing. All the things your father taught you, what are some of the most memorable lessons . My dad would always make sure when we talked, he never sat above me. He always made sure he was eye level so hed talk to me, not down to me. I do the same thing with my kids. Knee down, make sure were always at the same level. Its amazing the bond that you can build. My dad did it with me, im trying to do it with my kids. Reporter tonight the man who was the worlds number one ranked golfer for five years sits at number 876. Were used to seeing tiger woods being dominant, win everything. And can he not play anymore if he doesnt win anymore . Thats a question that only tiger woods can answer. Reporter for now its unclear when or if woods will ever hit the links again. For nightline, im geo benitez in jupiter, florida.

For three seasons fans of the critically acclaimed series the leftovers have watched with bated breath. Tonight the star Justin Theroux reveals details about the spellbinding series on the eve of its highly anticipated tip in all lay. Heres abcs nick watt. Reporter heres the leftovers elevator pitch. In an instant, 2 of the earths population just vanishes. Massive. Mournful. Sam . Wheres my dad . Sam . Reporter and the show follows those left behind. Theres Justin Theroux as a police chief. That 2 of the population disappearing is just the landscape that we start with or the springboard for everything else. Reporter theroux weve seen in the girl on the train. Mulholland drive. Wheres this going . What do you want me to do . Reporter with nowwife Jennifer Aniston . Wanderlust. I feel like a schoolgirl. Reporter Damon Lindelof is cocreator of the leftovers, cocreator of lost. Also stars kerry kuhn. My kids are not dead, they are gone. They are just gone. Then you should go be with them. Reporter she lost her family and works as a government investigator into the disappearance. Did you understand what was going on as you were shooting . Yes and no. Nora is still mysterious to me. No, no stop i cant go to bed for four hours after i watch it. Because you make me think too much. Good. Reporter were talking possible pending apocalypse with some sweeteners thrown in. Every now and again you get your bum out to make people feel happy. Yes, exactly. And look, also that. You know. It was also just like not enough of justins naked rearend. I mean, why not . If you got it. Theyre going to take advantage. Its hollywood, after all. We did see it a couple times. I remember us cutting bum scenes at one point. There cant be too much bum, i think. You have to find the right balance. Reporter can there be too much of theroux in the nip . We got the keys to your car reporter jimmy kimmel pulled a prank on justin during his show recently. Its easy to write him off as too pretty. A lot of people get judged that way. It happens to actresses all the time. Justin at heart is a character actor. Reporter theroux appears to be immortal. There are some heavy religious overtones. The whole justin jesus thing is very well, look at the guy, yes, right. Do you accept jesus christ as your lord and savior . What . Reporter or not religious. I just dont know. We originally wrote kevin as a very angry guy. And when justin started playing him i was sort of like, Justin Theroux doesnt strike me as being very angry. We course corrected as writers. Reporter he became more vulnerable, nuanced, in one scene asphyxiation. It was so terrifying the first time. They wanted to give him an escape hatch. He said, no, ill do it. He just did it. I got to do sort of everything. There was never an episode where i got to stand down or put it in neutral or coast. Right. Were talking about it almost as if its a grueling watch, which its not. Its engrossing. People want to relate to a number of subjects. Grief, sadness, whatever. Because in some way, that sort of storytelling sort of illuminates other parts of your own life. The reason its compelling is it can be cathartic at times. Moments of earned happiness in our show reflect that as well. Reporter its mind expanding, thought provoking entertainment, nearly all now ready to be binged on hbo. You can knock that off in a weekend. I wouldnt recommend it. Because youll be suicidal. Reporter hang on, dont binge . We should be responsible doctors and say, heres the prescription. I would take two of these at a time. Then let a day or two go by, then take two more. Does the name kevin mean anything to you . Reporter the leftovers cult following is coming to the end of its third and final season. No. Were not going to be one of those shows in year eight trying to wring some storyline out of it. Theres a wacky cousin. Spinoff i feel this is a show that will be i think people will Pay Attention to it, i think history will be kind to the show. Seems like a grand statement to make. I mean, television history, can i be clear . What does happen in the end . Unexpected. If youre super religious watching the leftovers, if youre an atheist watching the leftovers, youre going to have a very different takeaway from the final episode of the show. Reporter lindalof was also responsible for lost and that shows finale upset some fans who thought it was anticlimactic and failed to answer many of the shows longrunning mysteries. Some people got annoyed with you. Its a much different show than lost. Lost did promise resolution, i believe we gave those answers. It doesnt mean people liked them. I dont think its a fair criticism that we didnt give them. Is it all going to be its not all going to be neatly wrapped up at the end . Much like life. Things dont wrap up in the ways you expect them to. For me it was enormously gratifying to see the way where they sort of chose to put the last stroke on the painting. Do we get an answer to why you dont die . I dont want to answer that question. I dont want to answer that either. Yeah, yeah. Reporter deep dive on those left behind. If the people that you love suddenly disappeared in an instant from you, would you ever be capable of forming a real connection with another person again . Knowing they could be gone in an instant . Yet we do it over and over and over and over again. That is the meaning of life. Which is like we walk right into the buzz saw over and over again. If Everybody Loves the leftovers finale, if theres universal acclaim, im not spire sure weve done our jobs right. There will definitely be discussion about it. Id rather have that than just sort of like, oh, that was pleasant. How longs this usually take . Reporter pleasant is not a word i would ever use for the leftovers. Im nick watt for nightline in los angeles. The leftovers Series Finale airs sunday night on hbo. Up next, shes the little speller that could. How this young girl trained herself to welcome one of the best spellers in the country. You might not ever just stand there, looking at it. You may never even sit in the back seat.
