Tiger Woods, the renowned golf legend, was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island in Florida on March 27, 2026. The incident occurred just after 2 pm local time when Woods was driving on a two-lane road. According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck but swerved to avoid a collision, clipping the back end of the truck's trailer. This caused his Land Rover to roll onto its driver's side. Fortunately, neither Woods nor the person in the other vehicle sustained significant injuries. Woods managed to crawl out of the passenger side of his vehicle. Investigators found Woods to be showing signs of impairment at the scene. He underwent a breathalyser test, which came out negative, but refused to take a urine test. As a result, Woods was charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, both of which are misdemeanours. This incident marks at least the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash. In 2017, he was arrested on a DUI charge in South Florida after police found him asleep behind the wheel of his car, which was parked awkwardly with damage to the driver's side. Woods attributed the incident to a bad mix of painkillers and later pleaded guilty to reckless driving. In February 2021, his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at high speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries, with doctors even considering amputation. Despite these challenges, Woods has continued to be involved in golf. He won his fifth Masters and 15th major in 2019 and has 82 wins on the PGA Tour, tied for the all-time record with Sam Snead. Woods, 50, has been working his way back to golf after undergoing a seventh back surgery in September 2025. He recently participated in his indoor TGL golf league and has been deeply involved in PGA Tour affairs as chairman of the Future Competition Committee. Woods is also facing a decision on whether to become the US Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches in Ireland. The PGA of America is expecting a decision soon, as the previous captaincy offer was declined until June.
