Tiger Woods was photographed for the first time after he left jail following his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI).
The pro golfer, 50, was involved in a rollover crash near Jupiter Island, Fla., around 1 p.m. local time on Friday, March 27.
After the incident, Woods was charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
The athlete bonded out and was released from custody that same day, and new photographs taken after his release show Woods looking upset as he sat in the passenger seat of a car, exiting the premises of the Martin County jail.

The March 27 crash took place between Woods’ Land Rover and a pressure-cleaning truck that was pulling a small trailer, Martin County Sheriff John M. Budensiek said at a press conference that same day.
According to authorities, Woods was alone in his vehicle at the time of the crash. Budensiek said police are “not sure” whether he was wearing a seatbelt.
“Mr. Woods did not appear to be injured at all, and the other individual was not injured,” Budensiek said during the press conference, adding that the athlete was “lethargic on scene because of what he was intoxicated on.”
The police chief also confirmed that Woods “did exhibit signs of impairment,” but added that authorities “were not suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the jail,” where he blew “triple zeroes” on the breathalyzer test. (Woods refused to take a urinalysis test at the jail, Budensiek said.)

Woods’ mugshot was released shortly after his arrest.
The March 27 incident marked another car accident involving Woods. He previously sustained serious injuries in a 2021 crash in Los Angeles that required surgery, and he was also involved in a separate incident in 2009, also near his Florida home.
Woods returned to competition earlier this week, participating in the TGL finals, which marked his first event in more than a year. His Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club, ESPN reported.
Authorities said additional updates surrounding Wood’s latest arrest would be provided as the investigation continues. Representatives for the athlete have not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
