What to Know About Tiger Woods' DUI Arrest and His Future Plans

Tiger Woods faces misdemeanor DUI and property damage charges after a rollover crash; he showed impairment signs but blew 0.0 on a breathalyzer and refused a urine test, officials said.

  • On Friday, March 27, 2026, golf legend Tiger Woods, 50, was arrested in Jupiter Island, Florida, after his SUV struck a trailer and rolled over, facing charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
  • Despite registering 0.00% BAC on a breathalyzer test, officers noted "signs of impairment" at the scene, and Woods subsequently refused to provide a urine sample, creating evidentiary complications.
  • Attorney Donna Rotunno noted prosecutors may struggle to prove the DUI charge without chemical evidence, explaining that authorities "can't even tell you what was in his system that made him impaired."
  • Martin County is known for being "extra tough on DUI," according to former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg, with Woods expected to be arraigned in the next two to three weeks.
  • Refusing a urine test in Florida triggers an automatic one-year license suspension; addiction specialist Richard Taite warns that repeated incidents like this may indicate deeper issues beyond a one-off mistake.
