WATCH: Martin Kaymer dismayed by 'unfair' and 'nasty' comments about Tiger Woods

Former world number one Martin Kaymer has hit out at the "nasty and disrespectful" reaction to Tiger Woods' arrest for driving under the influence.

Woods was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning near his home in Florida after being found asleep at the wheel of his car, the 41-year-old subsequently blaming his confused state on an ''unexpected reaction'' to a mix of prescription medicines.
