UPDATED 3/27/26, 5:07 p.m. ET: New details about Tiger Woods’ accident were revealed in a press conference by the Martin County Sheriff’s office shortly after the accident involving Tiger Woods.
The golfer allegedly attempted to bypass a street-cleaning truck and clipped its rear, causing his car to roll over. No one else was in the car with him and no injuries were reported.
Woods managed to climb out of the passenger door before cops arrived. When authorities arrived, he allegedly appeared visibly impaired. Officers responding to the scene took into account Woods’ previous injuries and the presumed medications he takes for them, ultimately determining there was more at play, although no substances were found in the car. Woods blew a .000 on a breathalyzer test, but refused to take a urine test.
The golfer was taken to the Martin County jail, where he was booked on charges of DUI and property damage. He’s currently still in jail per the eight-hour hold required for DUIs and will be released if he posts bond.

Tiger Woods has reportedly been involved in a rollover vehicle crash in Jupiter Island, Florida.
ESPN reports that the crash happened after 2 p.m. in the town where the golfer lives. A photo of the crash reportedly shows the vehicle lying on the driver’s side. So far, no details about the cause of the crash or Woods’ condition have been released. A county sheriff will be speaking with reporters at 5 p.m. ET about the investigation.
Woods was previously involved in a similar single-car rollover crash in 2021. That February, he suffered multiple leg injuries and had to undergo emergency surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He had open fractures that impacted both the upper and lower portions of his tibia and fibula bones. Additionally, he suffered more injuries to his foot and ankle bones that were stabilized with a combination of pins and screws.
That crash impacted Woods’ golf journey. He had to be sidelined for 15 months and wasn’t able to play until the 2022 masters.
Before that incident, Woods had a previous one in which he was cited for driving under the influence in 2017.
Earlier this week, Woods appeared at the TGL Finals on ESPN. The legendary golfer hasn’t competed in an official tournament since 2024 because he’s rehabbing a ruptured Achilles’ tendon he injured last year, plus a back surgery that occurred in the fall.
Woods is currently still listed as an invitee to the 2026 Masters. It begins in two weeks, so whether he appears or not remains to be seen.
Prior to the crash, Woods expressed that his potential return to golf could happen at the Augusta National in April. “I said I’ve been working on it,” he said.
