Tiger Woods Arrested for DUI After Car Crash

0:00It's March 31st. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now, AI powered and spotlight ready. I'm Cory with the story. Tiger Woods got arrested for DUI after rolling his Range Rover in a crash near his Jupiter Island home on March 27th around 2.30 pm. He was trying to pass a truck, clipped it, and the SUV flipped onto its side. Cops pulled him out through the passenger window unhurt but charged him with DUI, property damage, and refusing a lawful test after spotting clear, signs of impairment. Officers noted he was sweating heavily with bloodshot glassy eyes during field sobriety tests. His breathalyzer came back clean for alcohol, but they found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. He skipped the urine test, leading straight to custody, and his mugshot showed those heavy, still bloodshot eyes. Woods has a tough history with painkillers from multiple back surgeries and injuries, including a ruptured Achilles and his seventh back operation.

1:00Last October. Back in May 2017, he faced a similar DUI bust in Florida, asleep at the wheel after mixing meds like Vicodin and Xanax post surgery. He owned up then, pleading to reckless driving. The sheriff's team considered his medical explanations but stuck to the roadside test showing he was impaired. Woods had just returned to competitive golf, playing in team finals days before, eyeing the 2026 Masters starting April 9th. This bust hits hard as he fights chronic pain and rebuilds his game, reminding us how thin the line is between meds for recovery and real risks on the road.
