Tiger Woods charged with DUI after rollover crash in Florida
Tiger Woods was arrested on a DUI charge today following a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Fla. , that did not cause any significant injuries. According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Woods showed signs of impairment at the crash scene.
He was negative for alcohol impairment on a breathalyzer test but refused a urinalysis test and was charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, according to a sheriff’s representative. The crash occurred in the city where Woods lives around 2 p. m.
ET. Woods, 50, was involved in a one-car crash in Southern California in February of 2021 that caused multiple leg fractures. No charges were filed.
The accident impacted Woods’ golf career and he has appeared in minimal PGA Tour events since. In May of 2017 Woods also was arrested on a DUI charge in Jupiter Island and eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving. He was given one year of probation, along with a $250 fine and 50 hours of community service.
Woods is not expected to participate in next month’s Masters Tournament but reportedly had registered to participate in the U. S. Senior Open.
