Body-cam and vehicle footage released by the Martin County, Florida, Sheriffâs Office on Thursday shows the aftermath of Tiger Woodsâ rollover crash last week as Woods gets searched and undergoes a sobriety test.
In the body-cam video, Woods is seen kneeling on the side of the road while speaking to a sheriffâs deputy a few feet away from his wrecked Range Rover. Woods told a sheriffâs deputy, âI looked down at my phone and all of a sudden, boom.â
The deputy then patted down the legendary golfer and told him a medic would come over to check him out.
âHeâs okay. I just checked for anything on his back. I didnât feel anything,â the deputy told a colleague before he walked over to the truck and trailer that Woods had hit.

Later, footage shows deputies conducting a field sobriety test on Woods before they search his pockets and find two pills in his pocket.
âOh, thatâs a narco,â Woods said after the deputy pulled the pills from his pocket. According to the arrest affidavit, the pills were hydrocodone, an opioid used to treat severe and long-lasting pain.
Woods was arrested and charged with DUI with property damage. A breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in his system, but a deputy described Woods as âlethargic and slow,â with âbloodshot and glassyâ eyes and âextremely dilatedâ pupils, according to the arrest affidavit.
âSo at this time, I do believe your normal faculties are impaired,â one of the deputies told Woods as she placed handcuffs on him. âAnd youâre under the unknown substance, so at this time, youâre under arrest for DUI.â
The body-cam footage also shows the deputy talking to the driver of the truck involved in the wreck. The truck driver told the deputy that he was stopped in the road and about to turn into a driveway when Woods plowed into the trailer. It appears that one of the trailerâs tires was damaged in the collision.
âIâm fine. It hit the trailer,â the truck driver said. âIâm not sure if Iâm going to be able to drive it out of here.â
The sheriffâs office also released footage of inside the sheriffâs vehicle as Woods is hauled off to jail.
Woods refused to comply with a urine test, which resulted in an additional charge of refusal to submit to a lawful test, according to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek.
Woods has dealt with significant injuries throughout his career, including multiple back surgeries and serious leg injuries from a 2021 car crash in Los Angeles. He told authorities that he takes âa fewâ prescription medications, but said that he was distracted by his phone and radio before the crash.
Earlier this week, Woods entered a plea deal in the DUI case, and a judge granted his request to travel outside of the United States after the golferâs attorney cited his need to get into an âintensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program.â Woods said on Tuesday that he would be âstepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.â
âIâm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally,â he said. âI appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.â
