Tiger Woods was ​arrested on a ‌charge of driving ​under ⁠the influence on Friday (March 27, 2026) after his ‌Land Rover rolled over ‌on a ‌two-lane ⁠road near his ⁠Jupiter Island home in Florida, the ​Martin ‌County Sheriff’s Office said.

Woods, 50, was found to ‌have shown signs ​of impairment and refused ⁠to submit to a urine ‌test at the jail, and a breathalyzer test returned no trace ‌of alcohol, with ​investigators believing the impairment was ⁠drug or medication-related.

Woods, who was uninjured in the accident, was detained after the car he was driving clipped a truck and flipped over.

No ⁠injuries were reported.

News of the incident comes five years after Woods was involved in a serious rollover car crash in California that left him with severe right leg injuries.

The 15-time major winner needed pins inserted in his foot and ankle and a rod in his tibia as well as a follow-up surgery in 2023.

Woods returned from the 2021 crash at the 2022 Masters, where he finished 47th despite struggling to walk Augusta National for all four rounds.

Woods was not expected to participate in next month’s ‌Masters Tournament but reportedly had registered to ​participate in the U.S. Senior Open.

A 15-time major winner on the PGA ⁠Tour, Woods had recently hinted at participating on the Champions Tour now that he ‌is 50.

“I’m trying. Put it that way,” Woods said at last month’s Genesis Invitational near Los Angeles, when asked about playing again. “The disc replacement has been one thing. … I’ve had a fused back and now ‌a disc replacement, so it’s challenging.

“And now, I entered ​a new decade, so that number is starting to sink in ⁠and has us thinking about the opportunity to be ⁠able to play in a cart. That’s something that, as I said, ‌I won’t do out here on (in PGA Tour events) because I don’t believe in ​it. But on the Champions Tour, that’s certainly (an) opportunity.”
