Tiger Woods to Miss Masters as He Steps Away After DUI Arrest

Augusta says it supports his focus on treatment following a rollover that led to misdemeanor DUI charges.

Overview

  • Tiger Woods crashed near his Jupiter Island home on Friday, and police arrested him on suspicion of DUI after noting signs of impairment, a 0.00 breath test, two hydrocodone pills in his pocket, and his refusal to provide a urine sample.
  • Martin County court records show he pleaded not guilty, waived arraignment, and now has a docket hearing set for May 5.
  • Woods said Tuesday he is stepping away to seek treatment, pausing his return after a brief TGL appearance the week before the crash.
  • Augusta National confirmed Wednesday that Woods will not attend the 2026 Masters and said the club supports his focus on health.
  • CBS Sports said it will avoid on-air speculation during Masters coverage and will focus on the tournament, as golf reckons with Woods’ long injury history and prior 2017 and 2021 car incidents.
