Tiger Woods Charged With DUI After Florida Rollover Crash

Investigators now focus on suspected drug impairment after a zero‑alcohol breath test.

Overview

  • Woods, 50, flipped his Land Rover in a two‑vehicle crash on Jupiter Island on Friday after clipping a truck’s pressure‑cleaner trailer, and no injuries were reported.
  • Deputies said he showed signs of impairment, recorded 0.00 on a breath test, and refused a urine sample, leading to charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
  • He was booked into the Martin County jail for the required minimum hold and was released on bond early Saturday as the criminal investigation continues.
  • Florida’s implied‑consent law can suspend a driver’s license for about a year after a first test refusal, so administrative penalties are possible pending the case outcome.
  • The incident revives scrutiny of his past road episodes and medical history, following a 2017 DUI arrest and a serious 2021 rollover, and it clouds near‑term golf plans including any Masters appearance.
