Tiger Woods charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after being involved in rollover crash – five years after near-fatal accident left him fearing he'd lose leg; The Martin County Sheriff's Office said Woods was not injured
Tiger Woods has been arrested and jailed for driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after being involved in a car crash in Florida.
Sheriff John Budensiek, from the Martin County sheriff's office in Florida, told reporters Woods showed "signs of impairment" after the incident in Florida, which happened shortly after 2pm local time on Friday and happened in the same town where Woods lives.
Woods took a breathalyser test at the scene which returned negative, but refused to submit a urine sample, Budensiek said.
He has also been charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
Photos from the scene showed the vehicle lying on the driver's side.
Woods has been working toward a return to competitive golf after rupturing an Achilles tendon in March 2025 and undergoing back surgery last October.
He competed for the first time in more than a year during Tuesday's TGL finals, where his Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club. He had not decided whether to play in the Masters from April 9-12.
Woods has been playing a limited schedule since being involved in a car crash that occurred in Southern California in February 2021 in which the vehicle rolled several times and left him trapped inside.
What has Tiger Woods won?
In a stellar golfing career, Tiger Woods has won 15 major tournaments. That tally includes:
The Masters c 5
PGA Championship x 4
US Open x 3
The Open x 3
The 15-time major champion later had surgery to deal with open fractures to his lower right leg, a rod placed in a tibia, and had screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.
Woods later said doctors considered amputation.
Following the accident, Woods began a rehabilitation process that included three months in a hospital-type bed in his home.
He had at least one more surgery related to injuries from the crash in April 2023.
In 2017, Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Jupiter, Florida.
An incident report at the time said that he was asleep and "had to be woken up." Woods was later released on his own recognisance.
Woods shared a statement after the incident apologising to his family, friends and fans.

Luckily, Tiger Woods survived but has been arrested and jailed pending investigations
This is so sad for the fallen hero, who has been involved in similar collisions before
I can only hope (best of a bad list) that he was under the influence of prescribed drugs; but either way, he should not have been at the wheel and he could face dire consequences for his actions

Definitely the greatest golfer of his generation and possibly the GOAT. He’ll get a team of top lawyers and claim he had taken legal pain killers. The guys definitely got issues.

Such a shame to see his fall from grace. I hope he gets the help that he needs.
