Tiger Woods was arrested on March 27, 2026, following a rollover car crash in Stuart, Florida. The incident involved Woods' black Land Rover colliding with a white Ford F-150 truck. According to police reports, Woods admitted to looking down at his phone, which may have contributed to the accident as the truck slowed to turn into a driveway.
Upon arrival, police noted Woods exhibited signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils. He reportedly stated he had consumed no alcohol but acknowledged taking prescription medication. During a subsequent search, officers discovered two hydrocodone pills in his pant pocket, identified as an opioid medication.
Woods submitted to a breath test that indicated no alcohol presence but refused a urine test. He was charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to the urine test. Previously, Woods had faced legal issues, including a DUI arrest in 2017 linked to the presence of various prescription drugs in his system.
The crash has drawn attention not only due to Woods’ high-profile status but also because of his ongoing struggles with injuries, having undergone multiple surgeries over the years. President Donald Trump, whose former daughter-in-law is dating Woods, mentioned the golfer's chronic pain from past injuries, stating that he is recovering well after the incident.
This incident marks another chapter in Woods' turbulent relationship with the law and personal health challenges, following a serious crash in 2021 that resulted in severe leg injuries.
