Woods, 50, was “sweating profusely,” at the time of his arrest, the police affidavit, obtained by PEOPLE, alleges
Tiger Woods allegedly had bloodshot eyes and was in possession of two opioid pills in his pocket when he was arrested after crashing his SUV in Florida on Friday, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office allegedly found two hydrocodone pills in Woods’ left pants pocket while at the scene, according to the affidavit obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, March 31.
In the moments before crashing his Land Rover into a Ford F-150 pickup truck that was towing a trailer in Jupiter Island, Fla, on Friday, March 27, Woods, 50, allegedly told a deputy that he had looked down at his phone while changing the station on his car radio, and did not realize that the truck ahead of him had slowed down.
Woods entered the oncoming lane of traffic to avoid hitting the truck, but he clipped the trailer and his SUV rolled over onto its driver’s side.
Minutes later, the truck driver, with the assistance of an onlooker, helped pull Woods out of the car through the passenger side, according to the affidavit.
While speaking to Woods, a deputy “observed several signs of impairment,” including “bloodshot and glassy” eyes and “extremely dilated” pupils, the probable cause affidavit said.

In addition, Woods was “extremely alert and talkative” and had “hiccups during the entire investigation,” according to the affidavit.
The golfer told authorities that he had not had alcohol that day, but when he was asked if he had taken any prescription medication, Woods said, “I take a few.”
He told officers that he had taken his medicine earlier that morning, according to the document.
As Woods sat in the backseat of a car at the scene with officers, one observed him “sweating profusely” despite A/C running in the vehicle.
At the scene, Woods’ movement was “lethargic and slow,” but he was “extremely alert” during the investigation, authorities said.
Woods performed a sobriety exercise in which a deputy observed him to be “limping and stumbling to the right,” the affidavit said. The athlete had a compression sock over his right knee and “appeared to have a leg injury,” a deputy observed.
“Woods advised he’s had seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his leg,” the affidavit states.
Based on Woods’ performance during a sobriety exercise, a deputy said he “believed Woods’ normal facilities were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle.”
Deputies then placed Woods under arrest for DUI with Property Damage. After bonding out, Woods was released from custody at Martin County jail that same day. His mug shot was released shortly after his arrest.
Woods was previously involved in two other car accidents. He sustained serious injuries in a 2021 crash in Los Angeles that required surgery and was also involved in a separate incident in 2009, also near his Florida residence.
