Overview
- The Martin County Sheriff’s Office released bodycam video Thursday that shows deputies giving Tiger Woods field sobriety tests, telling him his faculties were impaired, and placing him in handcuffs.
- The footage shows officers removing cash, AirPods, and two pills later identified as hydrocodone from his pocket as Woods denies alcohol use, blows 0.00 on a breath test, and refuses a urine test.
- Video captures Woods ending a phone call and telling a deputy he had been "talking with the President" moments after the March 27 crash on Jupiter Island.
- Under Florida law, refusing a urine test is its own misdemeanor and it also prevents lab confirmation of any drugs that might explain signs of impairment.
- Woods has pleaded not guilty to DUI with property damage and to refusing a lawful test, has said he will step away to seek treatment with court approval to travel abroad for inpatient care, and will miss the Masters after declining the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy as golf bodies issue supportive statements.
