Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on Friday, March 27, 2026, after a violent rollover accident on Jupiter Island.
According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods was operating a black Land Rover at a high rate of speed when he attempted to overtake another truck, clipping the vehicle and losing control.
The SUV reportedly flipped and came to a rest on its side.
Woods managed to crawl out of the passenger door without suffering serious injuries, and while one person involved in the collision refused medical treatment, no life-threatening injuries were reported at the scene.
The arrest has drawn intense scrutiny due to the specific circumstances of the impairment. While Woods registered a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test, indicating no alcohol was in his system, he reportedly refused to submit to a urine or blood test.
Sheriff’s deputies noted that Woods showed clear signs of impairment, leading to charges of DUI/refusal and property damage.
This incident marks the second high-profile rollover crash for Woods in recent years and mirrors his 2017 Florida arrest, which he famously attributed to an adverse reaction to prescription pain medications following multiple back surgeries.
The news broke alongside a viral split-screen video featuring a response from President Donald Trump, who addressed reporters from a tarmac.
Trump described Woods as a "very close friend" and an "amazing man," expressing that he felt "so badly" about the "difficulties" Woods is currently facing.
Public reaction has been swift and polarized, with many fans expressing concern for the athlete's well-being and others questioning why a billionaire of his stature would not utilize a private driver.
Woods is expected to appear in court later this year to face the misdemeanor charges.
