Tiger Woods Arrest: Bodycam Footage Reveals DUI After Florida Crash
Newly released bodycam footage shows the moment deputies arrested Tiger Woods after a rollover crash in Florida. The video captures officers speaking with Woods and administering field sobriety tests at the scene.
Crash details and scene
The single-vehicle crash occurred March 27 on South Beach Road in Hobe Sound. Deputies say Woods drove a black Land Rover SUV that struck a trailer attached to a Ford F-150.
The pickup was driven by Jeromy Bullard. Investigators say Woods attempted to pass as the truck slowed to turn into a driveway. The SUV crossed double solid lines, hit the trailer and flipped onto its side.
No one was injured. Deputies estimated roughly $5,000 in damage to the trailer.
Bodycam footage and officer observations
Martin County Sheriff’s Office bodycam video shows deputies conducting sobriety testing. A DUI investigator arrived after another deputy reported signs of impairment.
Officers noted Woods appeared lethargic, sweaty and unsteady. They recorded bloodshot and glassy eyes, and difficulty with coordination exercises.
Evidence collected at the scene and jail
Two pills later identified as hydrocodone were recovered from Woods’ pocket. Deputies listed the pills as evidence.
At the jail, Woods’ breath-alcohol tests read 0.000. He declined a urine drug screen, and was charged with refusal to submit to testing.
Legal moves and court status
The 50-year-old entered pleas of not guilty to charges tied to the crash. His attorney filed paperwork waiving arraignment and requesting a jury trial.
Legal analyst and former state attorney Dave Aronberg said the bodycam footage could be key. He noted jurors may focus on behavior seen in the video rather than on fame.
Public statements and treatment plans
Woods posted on X that he is “stepping away for a period of time” to seek treatment and focus on his health. He asked for privacy for his family.
The PGA Tour released a supportive statement emphasizing concern for Woods’ well-being. PBA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp also expressed support.
The Masters announced Woods will not attend in person next week. Tournament officials said his presence would still be felt.
Court permission to seek treatment abroad
Martin County Judge Darren Steele granted Woods permission to travel outside the United States. The travel was approved so he can enter a comprehensive inpatient treatment facility.
