Tiger Woods was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence on Friday after his Land Rover rolled over on a two-lane road near his Jupiter Island home in Florida, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.
Woods, 50, was found to have shown signs of impairment and refused to submit to a urine test at the jail, and a breathalyser test returned no trace of alcohol, with investigators believing the impairment was drug or medication-related.
No injuries were reported.
News of the incident comes five years after Woods was involved in a serious rollover car crash in California that left him with severe right leg injuries.
The 15-time major winner needed pins inserted in his foot and ankle and a rod in his tibia as well as a follow-up surgery in 2023.
Woods returned from the 2021 crash at the 2022 Masters, where he finished 47th despite struggling to walk Augusta National for all four rounds.
