Jupiter Island, March 28: Tiger Woods has found himself in trouble once again following a car accident. The professional golfer was involved in a rollover crash on March 27, 2026, in Jupiter Island, Florida, where he resides. While details about his health remain unclear, authorities have charged the 50-year-old with driving under the influence (DUI).
In recent years, Woods has faced a series of accidents, injuries, and surgeries. He underwent a significant operation last October and has been in recovery since then.
Details of the Accident
Woods was reportedly involved in a rollover accident on Friday afternoon. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office has yet to disclose the cause of the crash or Woods’ current condition. Investigations are ongoing, with a press conference scheduled for 5 p.m. ET to provide updates.
The crash occurred shortly after 2 p.m., and images from the scene show Woods’ SUV overturned on its driver’s side. In February 2021, Woods suffered severe leg injuries from a previous accident that left him hospitalized for three weeks after emergency surgery.
Charges Filed Against Woods
Authorities responded promptly to the crash. A press conference held three hours later confirmed that Woods has been charged with DUI and property damage. Sheriff John Budensiek stated that Woods refused to take a lawful test after the accident. Although he registered “triple zeros” on a breathalyzer, indicating no alcohol consumption, he allegedly declined a urinalysis. No drugs or alcohol were found in the vehicle, but authorities suspect he may have been impaired by medication or another substance.
Woods’ Recovery Journey
Following his 2021 accident, Woods underwent additional surgery in April 2023 for injuries sustained in that incident. He has spent months recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon and returned to competitive golf for the first time in over a year during the TGL finals. Before this recent game, Woods participated in the PGA Tour in July 2024.
Memory Loss After Previous Accident
Reports indicate that Woods experienced memory loss following his 2021 crash. He told first responders he could not recall driving before the accident. Investigators obtained a search warrant to access the SUV’s “black box” to gather data about the vehicle’s movements before the crash.
Personal Loss and Romantic Life
Woods recently suffered the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods, who passed away over a year ago. She was a significant influence in his life and career. Woods has also found love again with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump. The couple is reportedly planning a wedding, having received the president’s blessings.
As Woods navigates this challenging time, fans and followers are hopeful for his recovery and future in golf.
