Tiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in his pocket and bloodshot eyes at crash scene, authorities say

Deputies said Woods showed signs of impairment after the crash and refused a urine test, a misdemeanor under Florida law.

  • Tiger Woods was arrested in Jupiter, Florida, after his Range Rover rolled on its side in a crash involving property damage, with no injuries reported, and was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to a urine test.
  • During multiple field sobriety tests, Woods showed signs of impairment such as bloodshot and glassy eyes, slow movements, heavy sweating, dilated pupils, and coordination problems, leading deputies to conclude he was impaired and unsafe to drive.
  • Woods' breathalyzer reading was 0.000, but officers found hydrocodone pills in his pocket, and he refused to submit to a urine test that could confirm drug presence.
  • This is Woods' second DUI arrest in Florida, the first occurring in 2017 involving multiple drugs including hydrocodone, and he admitted to looking at his phone prior to the crash.
