Summary

Dui Crash Jupiter Island Florida in Jupiter Island, Florida: Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI after a rollover car crash in Florida on March 27, 2026. The crash occurred just after 2:00 p.m. ET on Jupiter Island, where Woods resides. No one else was in the car, and the accident did not result in any injuries. Woods crawled out of his vehicle after it tipped over. A 0.00 breathalyzer result indicated impairment. Authorities believed Woods was under the influence of a medication or drug. He was placed under arrest and taken to the Martin County Jail. Woods will be held until at least 11 p.m. Friday and released if he posts bond. He has been recovering from injuries from a 2021 crash in Southern California, undergoing multiple surgeries. Medications including Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC were found in his system. He attended rehab for drug abuse treatment. On Tuesday, Woods made his season debut at TGL Golf, the professional indoor golf league he founded alongside Rory McIlroy. He lost 9-2 in his return but hit drives of over 300 yards. It is unclear if he will play at the upcoming Masters Tournament, which begins on April 9 at Augusta National. Woods expressed his desire to play, stating he has been trying but his body does not recover as it did when he was 24 or 25. President Donald Trump called him a 'very close friend' and said he will be there but not play. Woods is currently dating Trump's former daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump.
