Legendary golfer Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a rollover crash in South Florida on Friday afternoon, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. near 281 Beach Road on Jupiter Island, according to the Martin County Sheriff\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n

An image from the scene shows an SUV on its side. Authorities said Woods was able to climb out of the vehicle and was not injured. <\/p>\n

“We really weren’t suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case and that proved to be true at the jail,” said Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek. “So, Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test, blew triple-zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused. So he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”<\/p>\n

The crash comes days after Woods appeared in the TGL final, competing for his Jupiter Links team. TGL is a technology-driven indoor golf league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n

Woods\u2019 last appearance on the PGA Tour came at the 2024 Open Championship, where he did not make the cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to come back. But it just hasn\u2019t worked out that way,\u201d Woods said ahead of the TGL final. \u201cI\u2019ve had a bad run of injuries last year. I think it\u2019s been a year and a few days since I blew out my Achilles. And so then I\u2019ve had two back operations. So it\u2019s been a little rough go. But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don\u2019t want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing.\u201d<\/p>\n
