Tiger Woods arrested at crash scene on suspicion of DUI, sheriff says

Tiger Woods was charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test after a high-speed rollover crash near his Florida home, authorities said.

  • On Friday, March 27, 2026, golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested on Jupiter Island, Florida, after his Land Rover rolled onto its side following a collision with a pickup truck; he was uninjured but charged with DUI, property damage, and refusing a lawful test.
  • Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek stated Woods showed 'signs of impairment' at the scene, though a breathalyzer registered 0.0 for alcohol; Woods refused a urine test, leading to charges of refusal to submit to a lawful test.
  • Woods, who was arrested for driving under the influence in 2017 in Jupiter, was traveling on a 30 mph speed limit road when the crash occurred. This marks his second DUI-related arrest.
  • Released on bond after eight hours in custody, Woods faces potential legal penalties under Florida law that may affect his professional schedule. His arrest intensifies scrutiny of his leadership roles in professional golf and medication management.
