Tiger Woods' fans are making a bold statement amid his arrest.
On Saturday (March 28), fans of the pro golfer were seen wearing white t-shirts with his mug shot and the message "#FreeTiger," referencing his arrest on Friday.
The fans were on-site at the Texas Children's Houston Open 2026 at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas.
The 50-year-old golfer was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a high-speed crash near his home in Jupiter, Florida, ESPN reported.
According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods was driving a Land Rover when he clipped the back of a pickup truck hauling a trailer, causing his SUV to roll onto its side. Both drivers were uninjured.
Woods failed a field sobriety test and refused a urine test to check for substances, though his breathalyzer showed no signs of alcohol.
“They did several tests on him," Budensiek said. “He is cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself."
Woods was booked for misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test and spent the required eight hours in jail before posting bond, Christine Weiss of the Martin County Sheriff's Office confirmed.
He was later released on bond after spending the required eight hours in jail.
ESPN also reports that Woods was arrested in 2017 after being found asleep at the wheel and later pleaded guilty to reckless driving. He has also had multiple serious car accidents, including a 2021 crash that left him with major leg injuries.
Woods spent recent months recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon and back surgery in October. He returned to competition for the first time in over a year at the TGL finals on Tuesday, where his Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club.
Woods has been considering a return to the PGA Tour at the Masters beginning April 9, 2026. He last played a full PGA Tour event in the 2024 Masters and competed most recently at the 2024 Open Championship.
Despite limited play over the past six years, Woods has remained active behind the scenes as chairman of the PGA Tour's future competition committee and as a player director on the policy board and PGA Tour Enterprises.
