Tiger Woods has been arrested for driving under the influence in Jupiter Island, Florida, in a stunning development.

On Friday afternoon, news broke that Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office announced that the accident occurred just after 2:00 p.m.

Naturally, fans were worried about Woods’ health and well-being. Though there aren’t any reports about him suffering serious injuries, the 50-year-old has landed in some significant legal trouble.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office arrested Woods and charged him with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit.

News of Woods’ DUI arrest is worrisome and sad for his fans, largely because it’s not his first offense. He was arrested in Jupiter Island in May 2017 for driving under the influence. He paid a small fine and was sentenced to community service.

Woods was also seriously injured in a single-vehicle accident in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on Feb. 23, 2021. He suffered leg injuries but was not charged with anything and made a full recovery.

Tiger Woods’ Status For 2026 Masters Is Now In Doubt

Woods suffered a torn Achilles tendon in March of last year, sidelining him from golf for the remainder of the year. His giant fanbase hoped he would return for the 2026 Masters in two weeks.

But that appears to be in doubt, now. It’s unclear if Woods suffered any injuries in the accident. Even if he’s okay physically, one could understand if Woods decided to continue his sabbatical from golf to get himself right.

Woods was on track to smash Jack Nicklaus’ record of major wins (18) before his well-documented cheating scandal and numerous injuries derailed the back half of his career. Unfortunately, his latest DUI arrest is yet another setback.
