Tiger Woods was arrested on Friday, March 27, after a two-car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, though neither he nor the other driver was injured. He faces charges including DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. His breathalyzer showed a 0.0 blood alcohol level, but deputies determined he was impaired. He declined a urine test.
Under Florida law, DUI suspects must be held at least eight hours; Woods was booked around 3 p.m., making his earliest release around 11 p.m. His agent, Mark Steinberg, had no immediate comment.
The arrest comes as Woods hinted at a return to The Masters while recovering from Achilles and back injuries. He last played March 24 at the TGL Finals in Palm Beach Gardens.
Woods has a history of high-profile vehicle incidents:
- 2009 (Florida): Crashed into a fire hydrant; cited for careless driving.
- 2017: Reckless driving after being found unconscious with prescription drugs and marijuana in his system.
- 2021 (California): Rollover crash causing serious leg injuries.
Past incidents raised questions about his prescription drug use, but after the 2021 crash, authorities said there was insufficient evidence to pursue further medical records.
