Famed golfer Tiger Woods was involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Jupiter Island on March 27, 2026. While deputies reported that neither party involved in the crash sustained injuries, Woods faces subsequent legal charges.
According to a Martin County Sheriff’s deputy at the scene, Woods exhibited signs of “impairment,” but alcohol use was not suspected. Although he reportedly blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test, he allegedly refused a urinalysis. He has since been charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Woods will remain in custody for at least eight hours, with authorities describing him as “cooperative but not trying to incriminate himself.”
This incident marks the second single-car crash for Woods in five years. In February 2021, he suffered serious lower-body injuries in a high-speed wreck that required a long surgical procedure on his right leg.
This crash occurs during what was widely viewed as a professional comeback for Woods, who just competed in the TGL finals. It remains unclear how these events and charges will affect his plans for the upcoming Masters at Augusta National, where he had previously left the door open to competing.
