He said Woods was being held in jail but separate from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not going to be with other inmates that could hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019ll pay the price, but he\u2019s not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the second time Woods has been arrested for a DUI not as a result of the influence of alcohol. He said he took a bad mix of painkillers when authorities found him in 2017 asleep behind the wheel of his car, the engine still running and its driver&#8217;s side damaged. Woods pleaded guilty then to reckless driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Donald Trump, whose former daughter-in-law is dating Tiger Woods, was asked about the golfer when he landed in Miami on Friday afternoon for an investment summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel so badly. He\u2019s got some difficulty,\u201d Trump said. \u201cVery close friend of mine. He\u2019s an amazing person. Amazing man. But, some difficulty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-lane road with a 30 mph (48 kph) speed limit. He said authorities could not determine how fast Woods was going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck but clipped the back end of the truck\u2019s trailer, Budensiek said. Woods\u2019 car then rolled onto its driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sheriff said Woods was \u201ccooperative, but he&#8217;s not trying to incriminate himself.\u201d He said Woods has the right to refuse the urine test and that authorities \u201cwill never get definitive results with what he was impaired on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods\u2019 manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the fourth time&nbsp;Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation. He also previously sustained multiple injuries to his left knee and his back during his golf career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods returned from multiple back surgeries to win the 2019 Masters for his 15th major. His 82 titles on the PGA Tour is tied for the career record with Sam Snead. Since that LA crash, he has played 11 tournaments without being closer than 16 shots to the winner the four times he was able to finish 72 holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday&#8217;s arrest comes as Woods was trying to decide if he was fit enough to play the Masters, which starts April 9. He also was to be in Augusta, Georgia, on April 5 to unveil a golf course project with Masters chairman Fred Ridley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods also was days away from what was described as a \u201csoft deadline\u201d to decide whether to be the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woods, 50, had been working his way back to golf from a seventh back surgery in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last official tournament was the British Open in 2024. Woods ruptured his Achilles tendon in March 2025 and that kept him off the course all season even before the back surgery. He managed to play in his indoor TGL golf league on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has remained deeply involved in PGA Tour affairs as chair of the Future Competition Committee that is restructuring the model of the tour. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/tiger-woods-involved-in-rollover-car-crash-in-florida-according-to-reports\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiger Woods&nbsp;was arrested Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence after his Land Rover traveling at \u201chigh speed\u201d on a residential road clipped a truck and rolled onto its side.
