It's a shocking fall of the golf emperor. Tiger Woods, 50, who was arrested on charges of drinking and driving drugs, was found to have refused to take a urine test during the investigation.

"Woods was arrested at the scene shortly after the car overturned in Martin County near Jupiter Island, Florida on Friday afternoon," U.S. media Fox Sports reported on the 28th (Korea time), adding, "Woods was driving north when he crashed while trying to overtake the truck he was leading."

At the time of the accident, Woods' vehicle was completely overturned toward the driver's seat. Woods crawled out on his own through the passenger's door immediately after the accident, and fortunately, there were no casualties during the misfortune.

However, police who were dispatched to the scene found clear symptoms of drug use and disability in Woods. "When drug driving investigators arrived at the scene, Woods was clearly mentally and physically weak," Martin County Sheriff John Budenschik said at a news conference. Woods explained his past surgery history and injuries, but his arrest was decided even after considering all of them.

He then said, "The prison measurement did not show that the drinking level was 0.000%. However, Woods finally rejected it at the urine test stage," he said.

In addition, Sheriff Budenshik said, "We did not suspect that drinking might have been involved in this case, and it was proven true in prison," but added, "But when asked for a urine test, he refused. As a result, Woods was indicted on charges of drug driving, property damage, and refusal to be a legitimate prosecutor. Things could have gotten a lot worse," he added.

In addition, in the mugshot released, Woods was wearing a blue polo shirt and staring into the camera with red bloodshot eyes. Woods reportedly left prison in a black SUV late Friday night after posting bail.

The accident came just three days after Woods returned to the field after recovering from an Achilles injury.

This is the third time Woods has talked about cars. When he was arrested on charges of drug driving on Jupiter Island in 2017, he explained that he took the wrong painkillers, and in February 2021, he was seriously injured in a capsized accident while driving a Hyundai Genesis GV80 in LA.

Following poor performance, controversy over personal life also overlapped. Woods is experiencing his worst downturn since his 1995 debut, having never made the top 20 in 14 major tournaments he has played since winning the 2019 Masters.

There were also voices of concern in the political world. U.S. President Donald Trump, known as Woods' close friend, said, "I'm heartbroken that something difficult has happened to a very close friend," adding, "He's a wonderful person, but he's currently struggling."

In the end, Woods faced the worst of his second drug-driving arrest and refusal to be tested legally. The entire future schedule, including future career as well as participation in the Masters, will fall into the fog.
