Tiger Woods has been involved in a rollover car crash in Florida
Martin County Fire Rescue said there were no serious injuries. This was at least the third time the golf legend has been involved in a serious auto incident.
JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. — Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash on Friday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities told media outlets the rollover crash occurred just after 1 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on 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.
This was at least 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, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation.
Woods has played 11 tournaments since that 2021 crash, not finishing closer than within 16 shots of the winner the four times he finished 72 holes.
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 he had taken a bad mix of painkillers. He later pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
Woods won his fifth Masters, and 15th major, in 2019. He has 82 wins on the PGA Tour, tied for the all-time record with Sam Snead.
Woods, 50, had been working his way back to golf from a seventh back surgery in 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 even before the back surgery. He managed to play in his indoor TGL golf league on Tuesday night.
