Tiger Woods Charged With DUI After Florida Rollover

The arrest raises immediate uncertainty about his next steps.

Overview

  • Tiger Woods, 50, rolled his Land Rover on Friday near his Jupiter Island home after clipping a truck’s trailer while attempting to pass, and deputies arrested him on suspicion of DUI.
  • Officials said he blew 0.00 on a breath test, showed signs of impairment, refused a urine test, was charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, and spent about eight hours in jail before posting bond.
  • Authorities said they suspected a substance other than alcohol, and the investigation continues without toxicology because he declined the urine test.
  • His near-term plans are now in flux, with reports noting he had recently returned at the TGL finals and had expected to be at Augusta for course-opening duties and the Champions Dinner before the Masters begins April 9.
  • Unnamed friends told People he is frustrated about his health and refuses to hire a driver to protect his privacy, and the episode adds to a history of incidents that include a 2017 arrest tied to prescription meds and a serious 2021 crash that caused major leg injuries.
