Golfer Tiger Woods arrested on suspicion of DUI in Florida, authorities say

Tiger Woods showed signs of impairment at the scene of a car crash Friday in which he struck another vehicle and rolled his Land Rover, authorities said.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was not injured. He was able to crawl out of the passenger side of his Land Rover.

The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. local time, not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island, Fla.

Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-lane road. The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck, but clipped the back end of the truck's trailer. Woods' car then rolled onto its driver's side.

Budensiek said investigators at the scene found Woods to be showing signs of impairment. He did a breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but he refused to take a urine test. Authorities charged him with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, Budensiek said. Both charges are misdemeanors.

Woods' manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking information.

This was at least the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation.

Woods has played 11 tournaments since that 2021 crash, not finishing closer than within 16 shots of the winner the four times he finished 72 holes.

He also was arrested on a DUI charge in 2017 when South Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of his car that was parked awkwardly with damage to the driver's side. Woods said he had taken a bad mix of painkillers. He
