It's a shocking fall of the golf emperor. Tiger Woods, 50, was arrested on charges of drinking and drug driving just three days after returning to the field after recovering from an injury.

Sports media The Athletic reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Woods was arrested and jailed for drug driving shortly after his involvement in a two-vehicle crash and rollover on Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon.

According to media, the accident occurred when Woods tried to overtake the truck he was leading while driving north of the Land Rover vehicle. At the time, the truck driver tried to turn left when he found Woods' vehicle coming from behind and tried to escape off the road, but Woods' vehicle hit the truck and overturned on its side.

Fortunately, Woods crawled out on his own through the passenger side of the car. It was confirmed that neither driver was injured.

However, Woods' condition became a problem in the process of handling the accident. "When he was dispatched to the scene, Woods was weak," Martin County Sheriff John Budenschik said in a press conference, adding, "We conducted several field tests. Woods explained his past surgery history and injuries, but scrutiny determined his arrest and transferred him to the Martin County Jail," he said.

"Woods was charged with drug driving with property damage and refusing to properly test," The Athletic said. "The drinking measurements did not show the figures, but he refused to test his urine and must stay in prison until 11 p.m. according to the rules of imprisonment for at least eight hours."

In response, Sheriff Budenshik said, "There is no special treatment just because it is a celebrity. However, for safety, we plan to accommodate it in a space isolated from ordinary inmates."

On the same day, "Fox News" also covered the accident with great importance. The media reported, "Woods had an accident again just three days after he overcame an Achilles injury and returned to competing golf through the TGL Final."

At the same time, Woods' disastrous poor performance was also highlighted. "Woods has never made the top 20 in 14 major competitions he has participated in since winning the Masters in 2019," Fox News said. "This is the longest slump in career history since his debut in 1995."

It's an all-time downfall. This is the third time Woods has been talked about due to a car accident. According to foreign media reports such as 'AP News Agency', Woods drove a Hyundai Genesis GV80 in Los Angeles in February 2021 and overturned after leaving the road.

Past mistakes have also been recalled. Woods also had a history of being arrested for drug driving on Jupiter Island in 2017. At the time, police found Woods asleep behind the wheel in a car parked damaged next to the road. At the time, Woods pleaded guilty after explaining that he had "mixed the painkillers incorrectly."

Due to this accident, the future schedule is also foggy. Woods had yet to decide whether to participate in the 2026 Masters, which will open on the 9th of next month. U.S. President Donald Trump recently said, "Woods will be at the Augusta site, but he will not play."
