Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, was involved in a traffic accident on Jupiter Island in Florida. Initial reports were unclear, but later statements revealed that Woods was arrested for “driving under the influence of substances.”

The 50-year-old legendary golfer was involved in a vehicle rollover crash, with the incident occurring shortly after 2 p.m. local time. Witnesses at the scene reported that a car had flipped over, but that no serious injuries were sustained.

Subsequent information confirmed that Woods, while driving at high speed in his Land Rover, rear-ended another vehicle. The car then overturned onto the driver’s side, and after coming to a stop, Woods managed to exit through the passenger door.

Investigators further noted that Woods showed behavioral signs suggesting impairment. Although he agreed to a breathalyzer test, which found no alcohol in his system, he refused to take a urine test used to detect drugs or medications in the body. No such substances were found in his vehicle.

Authorities added that the road where the crash occurred is a two-way, very narrow road with a speed limit of 50 km/h, stressing that it was fortunate no oncoming vehicles were present at the time of the collision. Woods was held in custody for eight hours, the minimum required under Florida law, after which he was expected to be released.

The crash involving Tiger Woods was also commented on by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“I feel very bad about it. He was in an accident. He crashed, and that’s all I know. He is an incredible person and a very close friend of mine,” he said.

Woods was already involved in a serious traffic accident in Los Angeles in 2021, when he suffered multiple open fractures to his right leg. That incident also involved a rollover, and according to authorities, Woods was driving at least twice the speed limit—up to 70 km/h—when his Genesis GV80 SUV struck a tree, causing the vehicle to go airborne and land on its side.

Four years ago, Woods was also arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of illegal substances and was later released on bail.
