Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested this afternoon on charges of driving under the influence of substances following a single-vehicle rollover crash in Martin County, authorities confirmed.
The 50-year-old 15-time major champion was not injured in the incident. According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Woods was behind the wheel of a Land Rover that struck a pickup truck before overturning near 281 Beach Road on Jupiter Island shortly after 1 p.m.
Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters that Woods displayed clear signs of impairment at the scene. Field sobriety tests were conducted, and while Woods passed a breathalyzer test for alcohol, he refused to provide a urine sample when requested by investigators.
“He was cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself,” Budensiek said. Woods has been charged with DUI (driving under the influence of substances), property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test following a crash. He was transported to the Martin County Jail.
The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the cause of the crash. No other injuries were reported. This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
