“Tiger Woods’ Second DUI Arrest: Crashes Range Rover Near Home While Impaired by Prescription Meds”
Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on March 27, 2026, following a dramatic single-vehicle rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida — just minutes from his home.The incident unfolded when the golf legend attempted to overtake a pickup truck that was pulling a pressure-cleaner trailer at high speed on a narrow two-lane road. His Range Rover clipped the back of the trailer, sending his SUV flipping violently onto its driver’s side.
Woods managed to crawl out of the vehicle through the passenger window. Remarkably, neither Woods nor the driver of the pickup truck sustained any injuries in the crash.When deputies arrived at the scene, they observed that Woods had bloodshot and glassy eyes with extremely dilated pupils. He agreed to take a breathalyzer test, which registered 0.000, confirming there was no alcohol in his system. However, he refused to submit to a urine test. During the investigation, officers found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.
Woods told authorities that he had taken “a few” prescription medications earlier that day. He also mentioned his extensive medical history, noting that he had undergone seven back surgeries and more than 20 operations on his leg.Based on their observations and the evidence, authorities determined that Woods was impaired by medication rather than alcohol. He was subsequently charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test — both misdemeanors.
Following standard procedure, he was held at Martin County Jail for eight hours as required by Florida law before being released on $1,150 bail.Woods has pleaded not guilty to the charges. In a public statement, he announced that he is stepping away from golf indefinitely in order to seek treatment. A judge has already granted him permission to travel abroad for inpatient care.This marks Woods’ second DUI arrest. His first occurred in 2017, when he was found asleep at the wheel in Jupiter with five different drugs in his system. He also survived a near-fatal rollover crash in Los Angeles in 2021. At 50 years old, Woods had only just returned to competitive golf three days before this latest incident, having played in the TGL indoor league finals — a competition he helped create.
