Tiger Woods arrested for alleged DUI after rollover car crash.

Tiger Woods changed his plea to no contest in a DUI case, resulting in a reduced charge of reckless driving and a five-year license suspension. He faced fines of approximately $1,500, but received no jail time during the court hearing attended by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump. Judge Darren Steele emphasized the importance of the driving suspension for public safety, stating there would be no exceptions. First responders found hydrocodone pills in Woods' pocket after an incident where his SUV struck a trailer, although a breath test showed no alcohol. Woods has a history of crashes and took a break from competitive golf for treatment but remains active in golf administration.

The crash reportedly occurred some time after 2:00 p.m. ET on Jupiter Island, where Woods resides.

Woods who was alone in the car during the accident, did not cause any injuries. He managed to crawl out of his vehicle after it tipped over onto its side.

According to Sherrif John Budensiek, DUI investigators arrived on the scene and, Woods allegedly displayed signs of impairment. As a result, they placed him under arrest and took him to the Martin County Jail.

Sherrif Budensiek stated that authorities believed Woods was allegedly under the influence of a medication or drug. This was despite him blowing a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test.

Woods has been recovering from several injuries sustained in a car crash in Southern California in 2021. The 50-year-old golfer has undergone multiple surgeries due to the accident.

Last October, he had surgery to replace a disc in his back.

After the 2021 crash, Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC were allegedly found in Woods’ system. He later went to rehab for treatment of drug abuse.

On Tuesday, Woods made his season debut at TGL Golf, the professional indoor golf league he founded alongside Rory McIlroy.

It’s unclear whether Woods will play at the upcoming Masters Tournament, which begins on April 9 at Augusta National.

The five-time Masters Champion shared his wish to play after his TGL appearance.

Nonetheless, President Donald Trump poured cold water on that during a phone appearance on Fox News on Thursday.

“I love Tiger,” he said. “He will be there, but he won’t be playing in it.”

On Friday, after reports of the crash, Trump referred to Woods as a “very close friend.” He expressed his concern, saying, “I feel so badly. He’s going through some difficulties. There was an accident, and that’s all I know. He’s an amazing person and an amazing man, but he is facing some challenges.”
