Just days after his return to professional golf in the TGL indoor golf final, PGA Tour legend Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car accident near his home in Jupiter, Florida, authorities say.
Sheriff John Budensiek of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the accident had occurred Friday afternoon when the driver of a Land Rover attempted to overtake a pickup truck pulling a pressure cleaner trailer at a high rate of speed on a two-lane road. After the accident, the driver of the Land Rover was able to crawl out of the passenger door and was confirmed to be Tiger Woods.

Woods was stated to have demonstrated signs of “impairment” at the scene, though they did not suspect alcohol use. He later blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test but refused a urinalysis.
Woods has since been charged with a DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He remained in custody until he was released around 11 p.m. ET. Woods was described as “cooperative but not trying to incriminate himself.”
Neither party involved was injured, per the sheriff’s department.

Woods was previously involved in a single-car crash back in February 2021, suffering serious injuries to his lower body, including several broken bones in his right leg that required a “long surgical procedure” after being brought to the hospital.
Woods has dealt with significant injuries throughout his career, most recently a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025 and back surgery in October. His appearance in the TGL finals marked his first return to professional golf since that occurrence.
The crash also comes with the Masters right around the corner. Woods has not said whether or not he would compete at Augusta National this spring while he recovers from the injuries, but he has left the door open repeatedly in recent weeks.
