New details have emerged in the case of Tiger Woods’ arrest following a rollover accident in Jupiter, Florida last week.
Last week, golf fans around the world feared the worst when a report emerged that 15-time major winner Tiger Woods was involved in a serious car accident. Despite his car being overturned in the accident, the 50-year-old man escaped with major injuries. However, this was far from the end of the story.
According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, it was soon learned that Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). This was the fourth time since 2009 that the golf icon was involved in a car accident.
Since Friday, various details about his arrest have leaked, including passing field sobriety tests and refusing blood/urine tests from arriving officers. The new information emerged Tuesday after ESPN obtained a probable cause affidavit from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the document, Woods claimed he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station, and did not realize that the car in front of him had slowed down. The golfer swerved, striking the vehicle in front of him, causing a rollover accident.
The affidavit states that Woods’ eyes were “bloodshot and glassy”, the pupils were “extremely dilated”, he was “sweating profusely” and was “lethargic and slow”. He agreed to perform field sobriety exercises and admitted that he took prescription pills, but claimed that he did not drink any alcohol.
Two hydrocodone pills – which are pain relievers – were found in Woods’ pants pocket. Although he passed field sobriety tests, a CNN report on Tuesday revealed that the reason he was arrested was a new Florida law passed in 2025 that automatically charges a person with a misdemeanor and license suspension if they fail to take any sobriety test requested by a police officer.
