Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. No details about the cause of the crash nor Woods’ condition were released.
The accident occurred near 281 Beach Road around 2 p.m. ET, police said. The department is investigating the crash, and county sheriff John Budensiek is scheduled to meet with reporters at 5 p.m.
A photo from the scene published by WPTV showed a Range Rover SUV on its side with police blocking traffic and emergency crews responding.
Woods’ return to golf has been a significant storyline since he last played a tournament at the 2024 Open Championship.
The 15-time major champion had back surgery in October 2025, his second inside the span of 13 months, to replace a collapsed lumbar disc. He played competitive golf for the first time since that surgery on Tuesday in the TGL Finals. Woods has gone under the knife seven times for his back since 2014.
In February 2021, Woods suffered severe leg injuries after being involved in a rollover car crash in Southern California. Woods had multiple surgeries and took nearly 10 months to recover before returning to golf.
There has been speculation that Woods, 50, could attempt to play in the 2026 Masters in two weeks, but he has yet to disclose his official status for the first major of the season.
