Tiger Woods DUI Arrest: New Evidence Emerges

Newly released bodycam video is expected to provide a clearer understanding of the events leading to Tiger Woods’ arrest on March 27th, following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida. The incident occurred after Woods’ SUV struck a trailer while attempting to pass a pickup truck on South Beach Road.

Details of the Crash and Arrest

Investigators reported observing multiple signs of impairment at the scene, including bloodshot and glassy eyes, dilated pupils, and lethargic movements. According to the affidavit, two hydrocodone pills were found in Woods’ pants pocket during his arrest. He was subsequently charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Woods’ Account of the Incident

Woods told deputies he takes prescription medications and explained he was looking down at his phone and adjusting the radio immediately before the crash. He stated, “I looked down at my phone and all of a sudden...BOOM.”

Significance of the Bodycam Footage

Legal experts believe the bodycam footage could be pivotal in the case. It may reveal Woods’ interaction with law enforcement, his physical state at the scene, and the administration of any sobriety tests. The video’s release comes as Woods has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Court Approves Out-of-Country Treatment

A Martin County judge approved Woods’ request to leave the United States for inpatient treatment on Wednesday. Prosecutors did not object to the motion, and court records show Woods agreed to return for future court appearances as required. The date of the video release is April 2, 2026.
