Police Release Tiger Woods’ Mugshot After DUI Arrest; Golfer Released
Tiger Woods was released from Martin County Jail in Florida after a DUI arrest related to a car crash. His mugshot was made public earlier in the day. The incident marks Woods’ second arrest for DUI within a decade.
DUI Arrest Details
The arrest occurred on a two-lane road with a 30 mph speed limit just before 2 p.m. ET. According to Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods’ Land Rover was driving at high speed when it clipped a truck that was towing a pressure cleaner. This caused the vehicle to flip and come to a stop, with Woods exiting through the passenger side.
Driver’s Condition and Charges
Woods was reported to be cooperative but showed signs of impairment. A breathalyzer test indicated a 0.00 blood alcohol level. He was charged with driving under the influence with property damage and failure to take a urine test. These charges could lead to up to a year in jail, fines, or probation.

Previous Incidents
This isn’t Woods’ first DUI incident. He faced a similar charge in 2017, when authorities found him under the influence of several medications. His driving problems have compounded following multiple surgeries, including his fifth back surgery in early 2021.
Possible Consequences
Woods will likely face a license suspension for up to a year due to the latest DUI charges. Given his prior record, any sentencing will consider his previous DUI arrest.
Future Endeavors
Despite these setbacks, Woods remains focused on his golf career. He has expressed hopes of participating in the 2026 Masters tournament but faces challenges in recovery from his injuries. As of now, he is still scheduled to compete in the U.S. Senior Open in July.
The news has drawn reactions from various figures, including Donald Trump, who referred to Woods as a “good friend” and acknowledged his current struggles. Woods’ journey highlights the difficulties he faces both on and off the golf course.
