Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities said the crash happened just after 2 p.m. in the same town where Woods lives, and a photo from the scene showed the vehicle resting on its driver’s side.
The sheriff’s office did not immediately release details about what caused the crash or Woods’ condition. Police are still investigating, and a county sheriff was scheduled to speak with reporters later in the day.
What is known so far
- The crash took place in Jupiter Island, Florida.
- The vehicle rolled over and ended on its side.
- Officials did not immediately confirm injuries.
- Investigators have not yet shared a possible cause.
- Local authorities planned a media update at 5 p.m. ET.
The incident has drawn wide attention because Woods has spent the past months trying to return to competition after another difficult stretch in his career. He ruptured his Achilles tendon in March 2025 and later underwent back surgery in October, then appeared in Tuesday’s TGL finals for the first time in more than a year.
That match marked a notable step in his comeback, even though his Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club. Woods had been building toward a return to tournament golf after a long recovery period, and the Florida crash now raises fresh questions about his health and playing timeline.
Woods’ injury history adds context
Woods has faced severe physical setbacks in recent years, including the major car crash in Southern California in February 2021. That wreck caused serious leg injuries after his vehicle rolled several times and left him trapped inside.
According to previous reports, he underwent emergency surgery for “open fractures” in his lower right leg, and doctors inserted a rod into his tibia along with screws and pins in his foot and ankle. He also had at least one additional surgery tied to those injuries in April 2023.
