Woods was involved in a collision with another vehicle that resulted in his car rolling over. Officers who arrived at the scene reported signs of impairment and placed the 50-year-old under arrest.

This is not Woods' first serious driving incident. In 2021 he suffered severe leg injuries in a high-speed single-vehicle crash in Los Angeles that required multiple surgeries. In 2017 he was found asleep at the wheel and charged with DUI, later pleading guilty to reckless driving. That incident was attributed to a reaction to prescription medications.

Woods has struggled with injuries throughout the later stages of his career but has remained one of the most recognisable figures in world sport. He has won 15 major championships and 82 PGA Tour events.
