Tiger Woods taken into custody at accident site on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to sheriff’s office.

JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. — Tiger Woods exhibited signs of impairment on Friday at the location of a vehicle accident where he collided with another car and overturned his Land Rover, according to authorities.
Woods was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported that Woods did not sustain any injuries.
The incident took place shortly after 2 p.m. ET in the same town where Woods resides. A photograph captured by WPTV in West Palm Beach, Florida, depicted what was said to be Woods’ SUV lying on its side.
Woods’ representative at Excel Sports did not promptly reply to a text message requesting information.
The 50-year-old had been recuperating for several months from a ruptured Achilles tendon and an additional back surgery in October. The 15-time major champion made his competitive return for the first time in over a year during Tuesday’s TGL finals, where his Jupiter Links GC team was defeated by the Los Angeles Golf Club.
He had been contemplating a return to the PGA Tour at the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, the season’s first major, which commences on April 9.
Woods last participated in the PGA Tour in July 2024, where he did not make the cut at the Open Championship held at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland. His most recent complete four rounds in a PGA Tour event occurred at the 2024 Masters.
In February 2021, Woods sustained severe leg injuries in a single-vehicle accident near Los Angeles, during which his SUV rolled multiple times, leaving him trapped inside. He subsequently underwent surgery to address “open fractures” in his lower right leg, had a rod inserted into his tibia, and had screws and pins placed in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery. Following the surgery, Woods was hospitalized for three weeks.
At the 2021 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Woods remarked, “I’m fortunate to be alive and also have a limb.” He indicated that there was a 50-50 chance that part of his right leg could have been amputated.
He underwent at least one additional surgery related to injuries from the crash in April 2023.
