A recently released report from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office has provided details regarding Tiger Woods’ condition following his car accident last week in Florida. The incident report, made public on Tuesday, indicated several signs of impairment observed by responding deputies.

Observations at the Crash Scene

Physical Signs Noted by Authorities

According to the report, when deputies interviewed Woods at the scene, they observed his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and his pupils appeared dilated. Furthermore, Woods was reportedly sweating while speaking with deputies and exhibited slow, lethargic movements.

When questioned about medications, Woods admitted to taking prescription drugs earlier that morning. Deputies subsequently discovered two white pills in his pocket, which were later identified as hydrocodone, an opioid used for pain management.

Woods' Account of the Incident

Tiger Woods informed deputies that he had been distracted just before the collision. He stated he was looking at his phone and adjusting the radio before his vehicle clipped a truck directly in front of him.

The accident occurred on a residential, beachside road on Jupiter Island where Woods was traveling at high speeds. His Land Rover struck the truck, causing it to roll onto its side. The truck sustained an estimated $5,000 in damages, according to the sheriff's report.

Sobriety Testing and Medical History

Challenges During Field Sobriety Tests

The truck driver and another individual assisted Woods in exiting his vehicle through the passenger side. Fortunately, neither Woods nor the truck driver sustained injuries in the crash.

During the field sobriety evaluation, deputies noted Woods was limping and wearing a compression sock over his right knee. Woods attributed these issues to his extensive medical history, citing seven back surgeries and over 20 leg operations, explaining that his ankle often seizes up when he walks.

Impairment Assessment

The report mentioned Woods was hiccupping during the questioning. During one sobriety exercise, he continuously moved his head, requiring deputies to instruct him multiple times to keep it straight.

The deputy concluded in the report: “Based on my observations of Woods, how he performed the exercises and based on my training, knowledge, and experience, I believed that Woods normal faculties were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle.”

Legal Proceedings Following Arrest

Woods consented to a Breathalyzer test, which registered no alcohol presence. However, authorities stated he declined a request for a urine test. He was subsequently arrested and later released on bail approximately eight hours later.

Woods faces charges including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He is currently scheduled for arraignment on April 23. Under recent Florida law changes, refusing a breath, blood, or urine test constitutes a misdemeanor, even for a first offense.

Representatives for Woods, including his agent Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports, have not issued comments regarding the arrest. No statements have been made by Woods' camp or the PGA Tour since the incident.
