Jupiter Island – Golf icon Tiger Woods has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) following a single-vehicle rollover crash near his home here, authorities said.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported the crash occurred around 2 p.m. on Jupiter Island.
Fifty-year-old Woods was driving a Land Rover that rolled on Friday, 27 March 2026.
He crawled out of the passenger door and was identified at the scene.
Investigators arrived and said Woods exhibited signs of impairment.
Woods refused to submit to a urinalysis test and was charged with DUI, officials confirmed during a press briefing.
Woods’ condition was not immediately clear, and no other vehicles or injuries to bystanders were reported.
He lives part-time on Jupiter Island.
The arrest marks Woods’ latest brush with law enforcement behind the wheel and comes more than five years after a near-fatal 2021 crash.
On 23 February 2021, Woods suffered open fractures to his right tibia and fibula when his Genesis SUV rolled over in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.
Woods underwent emergency surgery and multiple procedures but returned to competitive golf.
His driving history includes other high-profile incidents.
In November 2009, Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a tree and fire hydrant outside his Florida home at 2:30 a.m., an event that triggered the public revelation of his extramarital affairs.
He suffered minor injuries. In 2017, he was arrested for DUI in Florida after being found asleep at the wheel; that case involved prescription medication.
Woods, who has not commented publicly on Friday’s crash, and was expected to be released on bond after being detained for several hours.
The Sheriff’s Office said its investigation continues.
