Tiger Woods involved in rollover car crash in Florida, according to reports
JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. (AP) --- Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car crash
on Friday, the Martin County Sheriff's Office told media outlets.
Authorities said the crash occurred just after 2 p.m. not far from where Woods
lives in Jupiter Island. Martin County Fire Rescue said there were no serious
injuries, CBS 12 reported.
Woods' manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message
seeking information.
It was the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in
February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate
of speed that led to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors
considered amputation.
He also was arrested on a DUI charge in 2017 when south Florida police found
him asleep behind the wheel of his car that was parked awkwardly with damage to
the driver's side. Woods said later he had taken a bad mix of painkillers.
Woods had been working his way back to golf from a seventh back surgery last
September. He had not decided whether he could play in the Masters on April
9-12.
His last official tournament was the British Open in 2024. Woods ruptured his
Achilles tendon in March 2025 and that kept him off the course all season, and
then he had another back surgery in September. He managed to play in his indoor
TGL golf league on Tuesday night.
