On Nov. 27, 2009, Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree outside of his home near Orlando, Fla., at 2:30 a.m. This happened with a Cadillac Escalade.



On May 29, 2017: Police found him asleep in his black Mercedes Benz at 3 a.m, stopped in the right lane. The engine of Woods’ car was still running.



On Feb, 23, 2021, Woods was speeding on a winding road near Los Angeles when he crashed his Genesis SUV in a near-fatal single-car crash.



And of course yesterdays Range Rover roll-over.



The court needs to revoke his driving privileges and drivers license permanently.

He was pissed off and on pain drugs while driving like a maniac. If this is his fault again it’s time he learns a lesson and consider others. And yes, I’m assuming it’s his fault because I’m petty like that.

They also used the word "involved" in a rollover crash. They said that neither his manage nor law enforcement returned their request for more information.

Since he has previous injuries, any accident will probably exacerbate them.

Apparently, he had to crawl out of the passenger side. It looks like he wasn't driving all that fast. Driving impaired however.

Maybe the truck was trying to get out of the way of the Range Rover

The investigation determined that the pickup truck was attempting to turn into a driveway along Beach Road, and slowed to make the turn. The driver of the pickup truck observed a Range Rover closing at high speed, and attempted to get off the road, but was unable to do so because of the narrowness of the residential street. The Range Rover clipped the back end of the trailer and landed on the driver’s side.

Nobody got hurt, thankfully.
But, he seems to be in self-destruct mode.
If he was going to drink, why not hire a driver? He's a billionaire for goodness sake.
My favorite golfer ever, but he's making it hard to root for him.

No alcohol was detected during the breathalyzer test (or whatever they use). But they asked for a urine sample at the station since the officers suspected he was impaired. Woods refused. Testing following his previous rollover apparently showed he had a pharmacy of drugs in him.

I didn’t know you could refuse to be tested. It would seem to be hard to prove impairment without physical evidence. So who knows where this will go.

51. Can they get a warrant for blood and urine?
Fri Mar 27, 2026, 08:12 PM
Mar 27

I know he took a breathalyzer, but in Texas if you refuse a breathalyzer, you could be hauled off to jail and then you're forced. I would assume the same applies to other tests. Since Woods was arrested, I assume he will be booked and tested.

The advantage of refusing a test, is that it delays the testing results, which can lower the amt in your system.


However, refusing the breathalyzer doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Law enforcement will often obtain a search warrant for a blood sample, and if they do, they’ll get your BAC anyway.

If he wants to kill himself because of the screaming devils in his brain oh well.
As long as he doesn’t hurt or kill others fine by me.

I have friends who dealt with Mr. Woods when he was in Columbus OH for a golf
tournament years ago… before his wife put an 8 iron through his rear window … and
the stories were not pretty.

Of all the women he was cheating with only one got even a meal or dinner out of it. She was a waitress and he bought her a 6” Subway sub. That’s it.

He and Jordan (sometimes Barkeley) regularly went to clubs where they were upstairs watching the dance floor with “bottle girls” bringing them outrageously priced bottles of champagne vodka tequila etc. they’d watch the dance floor and tell the manager who they wanted to come to their room. This is apparently a regular thing many places for high rollers. When it all went down one of Tiger’s team commented on MJ that “basketball is the only thing he ever contributed to the world.”

….. tournament in Columbus, OH and they had a band come and play there. It was a big name group too.
Well, Mr. Woods showed up uninvited with 2 or 3 of his body guards and was a complete asshole and his
body guards were just thugs. Well my friend’s husband told Tiger to cut the crap or just leave the party
because he wanted his friends and clients to enjoy themselves and Tiger and his goons were stopping
that from happening. Tiger did not take that very well but the event had its own security people too who
were law enforcement and so Tiger left. If Tiger wants to kill himself in a car crash fine by me as long as
he doesn’t hurt others and the world would be a better place w/out him.
