Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said when officers with the Jupiter Island Police Department responded to the scene, they found a pickup truck pulling a pressure-cleaner trailer and a Ranger Rollover on its side.<\/p>\n
Budensiek said responding officers could see that the driver of the Range Rover “might be impaired,” prompting them to contact the sheriff’s office. <\/p>\n
The sheriff said their investigation later revealed that the truck pulling the pressure-cleaner trailer was traveling northbound on South Beach Road and was starting to pull into a driveway.<\/p>\n
“The driver of that vehicle looked in his mirror and saw a (Range) Rover overtaking him at high speeds,” Budensiek said. “He saw it coming, so he tried to edge off the side of the road, but this is a small two-lane road, and there was no shoulder … to get off the side of the road.”<\/p>\n
Budensiek said Range Rover “swerved to avoid a collision” but clipped the back end of the trailer, causing Woods’ vehicle to roll over on its side. <\/p>\n

Golfing legend Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island on March 27, 2026, according to Martin County deputies.<\/p>\n
After the crash, the sheriff said Woods was able to crawl out of the vehicle through the passenger’s side door. <\/p>\n
“Our DUI investigators came to the scene, and Mr. Woods did (exhibit) signs of impairment,” Budensiek said. “They did several tests on him … He was placed under arrest and taken to the Martin County Jail.”<\/p>\n
The sheriff said Woods complied with a breathalyzer test and blew “triple zeroes” but refused a urine test. <\/p>\n
“He’s been charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test,” Budensiek said. <\/p>\n
Investigators don’t believe Woods was impaired by alcohol, but the sheriff believes it was “some type of medication or drug.” <\/p>\n
“We will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash,” Budensiek said. <\/p>\n
Neither Woods nor the driver of the pickup truck was hurt in the crash. <\/p>\n
The charges that Woods faces are both misdemeanors. He will be held in the Martin County Jail for at least eight hours, in accordance with Florida law for DUI arrests.<\/p>\n
Woods was involved in a severe crash in California in 2021,<\/a> where he suffered multiple leg injuries.<\/p>\n In 2017,<\/a> the golfer was arrested in Palm Beach County on suspicion of driving under the influence. Woods later pleaded guilty to reckless driving<\/a>, agreeing to pay a $250 fine and attend DUI school.<\/p>\n Stay with WPTV.com and WPTV News for more details as they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Golfing legend Tiger Woods faces two charges after he was arrested on suspicion of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,17069,29192,95605],"class_list":["post-208923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-jupiter-island","tag-tiger-woods","tag-tiger-woods-crash"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
