Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Fla. on Friday, March 27

Tiger Woods has been charged with DUI, causing property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after a rollover crash in Florida on Friday, March 27, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at a press conference.

The crash involving Woods, 50, took place in Jupiter Island, and nobody was injured as a result.

Budensiek alleged that Woods was driving his Land Rover at a high speed behind a pickup truck. The driver of the trailer, which was pulling a pressure cleaner, tried to pull over to avoid Woods, but Woods allegedly clipped the back of the trailer, and his Land Rover rolled over onto the driver’s side door, sliding down the road.

Woods was able to climb out of the vehicle, but Budensiek alleged Woods appeared “lethargic” and had “signs of impairment,” and that Woods was placed under arrest and taken to the Martin County Jail.

Budensiek said Woods did not consume alcohol, and he “blew triple zeroes” on a Breathalyzer test. But he allegedly refused a urinalysis, and authorities believe he was “not impaired by alcohol but possibly by medication or another substance.”

According to Budensiek, Woods “did explain the injuries and surgeries that he had, and we took that into account.”

No drugs or alcohol were found in Woods’ vehicle. Nobody else was in the vehicle at the time, said Budensiek.

The crash occurred shortly before 2 p.m. Friday, on South Beach Road, Budensiek said.

The speed limit on the road is 30 mph, according to Budensiek, who said that while he didn’t know how fast Woods was going, photos of the scene “speak for themselves. You can see the impact, the rollover, and the distance he slid.”

WPTV also published a photo of the crash scene, which showed a vehicle tipped over on its side.

Woods lives in the same area where the crash occurred, per ESPN.

Budensiek said that in jail, Woods will “not be placed in general population where he could be harmed, but he will still face the legal consequences,” and will not get preferential treatment.

“We know we arrested a high-profile figure, but the law applies the same to everyone,” Budensiek said.

It’s not the first time Woods has been involved in a car accident. In February 2021, Woods was injured in a rollover car accident near the communities of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles County.

At the time, Woods was pulled from his vehicle by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics. He underwent surgery for his injuries.

The L.A. County Sheriff said Woods’ car struck a sign and “traveled several hundred feet from the center divider,” shearing through a tree before it landed in the brush along the road with “major damage.”

Villanueva said Woods was “alive and he was conscious” and “there was no evidence of impairment.”

Woods underwent emergency surgery for “significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity.”

He was not charged in connection with that crash.

Woods was also involved in a 2017 crash that led to initial charges of DUI, and led to Woods pleading guilty to reckless driving. In 2009, he was in a crash outside his Florida home that resulted in a careless driving citation.
