JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. — Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after his vehicle rolled over in a two-vehicle crash on Jupiter Island on Friday afternoon, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said.
Woods, 50, was driving a Land Rover at high speed on Beach Road around 2 p.m. when he attempted to pass a work truck pulling a trailer. His SUV clipped the back of the trailer and flipped onto its side. Neither Woods nor the other driver was injured, and no passengers were in either vehicle. Woods exhibited signs of impairment at the scene, according to authorities.
Sheriff John Budensiek said deputies conducted roadside tests, taking into account Woods' history of leg and back injuries from prior incidents. Woods registered 0.00 on a breathalyzer test but refused a urinalysis. He was taken to Martin County Jail and charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He was later released.
The crash marks the second time Woods has faced DUI charges. In 2017, he was arrested in South Florida after being found asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle. He has also been involved in a serious single-vehicle crash in February 2021 in Los Angeles that caused multiple leg and ankle injuries.
Woods has been recovering from recent health issues, including a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025 and back surgery in October 2025. He made his first competitive appearance in more than a year earlier this week at the TGL finals in Florida.
As of Saturday, Woods had not issued a public statement on the incident. The Martin County Sheriff's Office continued its investigation. Woods' longtime agent, Mark Steinberg, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The case remains pending in Martin County.
