JUPITER ISLAND, Florida: Golfing legend Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence on March 27 after the Land Rover he was driving at high speed clipped another vehicle and rolled over on its side.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Tiger Woods managed to crawl out of the passenger side of his car and was not hurt. He, however, showed signs of being impaired, and officers believe he may have taken some medication or drug.

A breath analyser test showed no alcohol, but Woods refused a urine test and was arrested. Under Florida law, he had to stay in jail for at least eight hours before he could post bail.

The sheriff said the law applies to everyone, no matter who they are. Woods was kept separate from other inmates for his safety.

This was the second time Woods was arrested for driving under the influence without alcohol. In 2017, he was found asleep in his car after taking a mix of painkillers and later pleaded guilty to reckless driving.

President Donald Trump, who knows Woods, said he felt sorry for him and called him a close friend going through difficulties.

The crash happened near Woods' home on Jupiter Island. Budensiek said Woods tried to pass a truck on a two-lane road but lost control. His car hit the back of the truck's trailer and rolled onto its side.

Woods cooperated with officers but did not want to incriminate himself. Since he refused the urine test, officials may never know exactly what caused his impairment.

This was Woods' fourth car crash. The most serious was in 2021 in Los Angeles, where he suffered major leg injuries. He has also had several back and knee problems during his career.

Despite injuries, Woods returned to win the Masters Tournament in 2019, one of his 15 major titles. He has 82 PGA Tour wins, tied with Sam Snead for the most ever.

Recently, Woods has struggled with injuries, including a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2025 and multiple back surgeries. His last major tournament was The Open Championship in 2024.

His arrest comes as he was deciding whether to play in this year's Masters and considering becoming U.S. captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland. He has also stayed active in golf management, helping guide changes to the PGA Tour.
