Tiger Woods, the famed golfer, walked out of jail after police arrested him for DUI following a severe car crash in Florida. Jail records and eyewitness accounts confirm the 50-year-old PGA Tour legend exited Palm Beach County Jail early Saturday, March 28, 2026, after posting $500 bail.
Late Friday night, Woods drove his black Mercedes-Benz along a highway near Jupiter, Florida. He lost control and slammed into a guardrail. Florida Highway Patrol troopers rushed to the scene around 11:45 PM. They found Woods slumped over the wheel, visibly intoxicated. A breathalyzer test clocked his blood alcohol level at 0.12—far exceeding the 0.08 legal limit. Authorities charged him with DUI and reckless driving.
This incident delivers a major blow to Woods. Police last arrested him for a high-profile DUI in 2017 after he wrecked his car near his Florida home; he blamed prescription painkillers. Page Six reports that sources near the golfer claim he celebrated a recent tournament victory with friends beforehand. “He seemed fine earlier, but the roads turned treacherous,” one insider revealed.
Woods, a 15-time major champion and sports’ most scrutinized star, stayed silent as he left jail. He pulled a black hoodie over his face to dodge cameras. His lawyer, Douglas Duncan, released a brief statement: “Mr. Woods fully cooperates with authorities and regrets any public concern.”
