Tiger Woods arrested on DUI charge after Florida rollover crash
Tiger Woods was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence on Friday after his Land Rover rolled over on a two-lane road near his Jupiter Island home in Florida, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said.
Woods, 50, was found to have shown signs of impairment and refused to submit to a urine test at the jail, and a breathalyser test returned no trace of alcohol, with investigators believing the impairment was drug or medication-related.
No injuries were reported.
Woods was involved in a serious car crash in February 2021, suffering severe right leg fractures.
His injury history spans more than two decades and includes multiple back microdiscectomies, ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendon ruptures, various spinal procedures, and chronic left knee issues — all of which have significantly limited his competitive schedule in recent years.
Woods had only just returned to action, leading his Jupiter Links Golf Club in a TGL Finals match on Tuesday, his first appearance since missing the cut at the 2024 British Open.
The American had not yet confirmed whether he planned to compete at this year's Masters, which starts on April 9th in Augusta.
A 15-time major winner on the PGA Tour, Woods had recently hinted at participating on the Champions Tour now that he is 50.
"I'm trying. Put it that way," Woods said at last month's Genesis Invitational near Los Angeles, when asked about playing again. "The disc replacement has been one thing. ... I've had a fused back and now a disc replacement, so it's challenging.
"And now, I entered a new decade, so that number is starting to sink in and has us thinking about the opportunity to be able to play in a cart. That's something that, as I said, I won't do out here on (in PGA Tour events)
