Friday, April 3, 2026 - The Martin County Sheriff's Office has released the first bodycam footage of Golf legend Tiger Woods being arrested after a DUI.
Woods, 50, rolled his SUV on Friday, March 27, while
attempting to overtake a vehicle at high speed on Jupiter Island, before cops
found two opioid pills in his pocket and put him behind bars.
In the video footage released, the golfer is seen on one
knee while acting unsteady at the side of the street.
'I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden... boom!'
Woods tells the officer, explaining the moment he clipped the back of a
pressure washer trailer and rolled his Range Rover onto its side.
As medical checks are performed on him, an officer can be
heard asking 'is this comfortable for you?', to which he replies: 'Yeah,
yeah.'
While being transported to jail in the back seat of the cop
car, Woods can be seen yawning wildly before briefly falling asleep.
Woods, who has been involved in multiple other crashes over
the years, was charged with driving under the influence, property damage, and
refusal to submit to a lawful test.
The affidavit says Woods was 'limping and stumbling' during
a field sobriety test. After completing a number of exercises, Woods was deemed
unfit to drive his car.
He had been traveling at 'high speeds' on a residential road
and, after the crash, showed 'signs of impairment,' Martin County Sheriff John
Budensiek said, adding that investigators believe he had taken some kind
of medication or drug.
He described Woods as lethargic and said he agreed to a
breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test
and was arrested.
Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner
truck while driving on a two-lane road with a 30mph speed limit. He said
authorities could not determine how fast Woods was going.
The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was
passing the truck but clipped the back end of the truck's trailer, Budensiek
said. Woods' car then rolled onto its driver's side, and he crawled out.
The sheriff said Woods was 'cooperative, but he's not trying
to incriminate himself.'
He said Woods has the right to refuse the urine test and
that authorities 'will never get definitive results with what he was impaired
on.'
