Tiger Woods Arrested on DUI Charges Following Rollover Crash, Pleads Not Guilty JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. — A field sobriety test and subsequent arrest unfolded after Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on March 27 on South Beach Road in Hobe Sound. Body camera footage from the incident, released by authorities, shows a deputy interacting with Woods before administering the test. Woods, who was driving a black Land Rover SUV, admitted to taking medication the morning of the crash and was observed hiccupping during the exchange. The deputy then conducted the field sobriety test, after which Woods was instructed to turn around and place his hands behind his back, leading to his arrest. The deputy informed Woods that his normal faculties were impaired and he was under the influence of an unknown substance. Woods asked, “Are you going to arrest me?” as he was handcuffed. Deputies later removed personal items from his pockets, during which a deputy discovered “narco” pills in his possession. Woods reportedly stated, “That’s a narco,” as the pills were placed into an evidence bag. Woods, 50, entered a not guilty plea to DUI charges and property damage stemming from the crash. His attorney submitted the court filing on Wednesday, waiving his arraignment and requesting a jury trial. The incident, which occurred when Woods attempted to pass a Ford F-150 driven by Jeromy Bullard, resulted in the SUV striking the trailer and flipping onto its side. Neither driver was injured, though the trailer sustained approximately $5,000 in damage. According to the arrest affidavit, Woods told deputies he was looking down at his cellphone and adjusting the radio when he failed to notice the truck slowing to turn into a driveway. A DUI investigator was called to the scene after another deputy reported signs of impairment.#pga_tour #tiger_woods #jupiter_island #hobe_sound #jeromy_bullard
Tiger Woods arrested after rollover crash on suspicion of DUI, bonds out Professional golfer Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a two-vehicle crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday. The incident involved a pickup truck and a Land Rover driven by Woods, which rolled over near 281 South Beach Road. According to Sheriff John Budenseik, law enforcement arrived at the scene shortly before 2 p.m. and found the pickup truck pulling a pressure cleaner trailer, while the Land Rover had overturned on its driver’s side. Budenseik stated that the investigation indicated Woods was impaired at the time of the crash. The pickup truck was traveling northbound on South Beach Road and had slowed to turn into a driveway when the driver noticed a dark-colored Land Rover overtaking him at high speed. The Land Rover clipped the back of the pressure cleaner trailer, causing it to roll onto its driver’s side. Woods was able to exit the vehicle through the passenger side door. DUI investigators conducted roadside tests at the scene. While Woods’ breathalyzer test at the Martin County Jail came back negative, he refused to submit to a urine test. As a result, he faces charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to comply with a lawful test. No injuries were reported in the crash. Woods has previously been involved in notable vehicle incidents. In February 2021, he suffered serious injuries to his right leg after a single-vehicle rollover crash in Rolling Hills Estates, California. Authorities ruled the incident an accident and found no evidence of impairment. Another significant crash occurred on November 27, 2009, near his home in Windermere, Florida, where his SUV collided with a fire hydrant and a tree. He sustained minor injuries and was released from the hospital.#donald_trump #miami #tiger_woods #jupiter_island #sheriff_john_budenseik
Tiger Woods charged with driving under influence after crash Tiger Woods has been charged with driving under the influence following a car crash in Florida, according to local authorities. The Martin County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the 15-time major champion was also cited for property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test. Sheriff John Budensiek stated that Woods, 50, rolled his Land Rover after colliding with a pressure cleaner truck while attempting to overtake it on Friday. The incident occurred on Beach Road in Jupiter Island, just before 14:00 local time (approximately 19:00 GMT). No injuries were reported, though Woods had to crawl out of his vehicle after the crash. Budensiek described the situation at a news conference, noting that Woods exhibited signs of impairment during roadside tests. Despite passing a breathalyser test with "triple zeros," the golfer refused a urine test, which is a separate charge. The sheriff emphasized that while initial suspicions about alcohol were low, the DUI investigators confirmed Woods' impairment. "He did a breathalyser test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinary analysis test, he refused," Budensiek said. The sheriff added that Woods was cooperative but attempted to avoid incriminating himself. The incident marks another legal complication for Woods, who has faced multiple controversies in recent years. The golfer was previously involved in a 2021 crash near Los Angeles that left him with severe injuries, and he has struggled with recurring health issues, including an Achilles tendon rupture in 2025 and back surgery in October 2025. His recent return to competitive golf included participation in the TGL indoor league finals, his first competitive event in over a year.#masters_tournament #tiger_woods #jupiter_island #martin_county_sheriff_office #beach_road
