Tiger Woods has been released on bail following his arrest on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) after crashing his car in Florida.Woods, 50, rolled his Land Rover in Jupiter Island on Friday afternoon (March 27), and the Martin County Sheriff’s Office later said the 15-time major champion was also charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.Woods was arrested after a car crash in Florida on FridayGettyThe golf icon swerved to avoid crashing into a truck while overtaking at high speed, and crawled out of the passenger seat after his SUV was turned on its side.Sheriff John Budensiek added officers had not suspected Woods of impairment by alcohol, but possibly by an unknown substance, after he passed a breathalyser test but refused a urine test.No one was injured in the incident.Woods was kept in jail for eight hours — the minimum allowed under Florida law — before being released.A bleary-eyed mugshot has since emerged, following that eight-hour stint behind bars. The charges against him are misdemeanors, not felonies.Woods, who made his return to competitive action in the TGL season finale three days prior to his car crash, was targeting an appearance at the Masters in less than two week.He had been out of action for more than a year after undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025 and then on his back last October. It is his fourth high-profile incident in a car and likely ends any chance of a playing return at the Masters next month. Although it remains to be seen whether he will show his face and take part in proceedings such as Rory McIlroy’s Champions’ Dinner.Will Tiger Woods face jail time for Florida car crash?In the hours after Woods’ arrest, Golf Channel senior writer Rex Hoggard detailed the next steps in the legal process for the golf legend.Woods appeared bleary-eyed in a mugshot released after his arrestAFPThe golf legend was in jail for eight hours before being bailedGettyHe revealed Woods is unlikely to face jail time but outlined a number of possible consequences.“I think legally you have to look at two separate things here,” Hoggard said, speaking late Friday.“I spoke with Gus Benitez. He’s an attorney from Florida who deals with these types of cases. First and foremost, he pointed out because no one was injured in this, it did not reach a certain threshold.“So that certainly is going to help out Tiger Woods legally going forward.“The other step that you have to follow here, is if he has any previous convictions similar to this.“Now he was charged with DUI back in 2017 when he was pulled over in Jupiter, but he ended up pleading to reckless driving. So that’s not on his record. He was never convicted of DUI. That would help him out as well.”Hoggard then went on to speculate the kind of punishment Woods can expect to face.The reporter continued: “According to Gus Benitez, he would probably face something between six months and a one-year suspension of his licence.Woods likely won’t face jail time for the misdemeanor chargesAFP“He would probably face 50 hours of community service, there would be fines somewhere between $500 and $1,000, and he would probably have to take a DUI driving school as well.“Based on when he was charged, when he was put in jail, it seems likely that he would have his first appearance before a judge as early as tomorrow (Saturday) morning.”talkSPORT verdict: Why doesn’t Tiger call it a day?Amid Woods’ latest off-course incident, and the fallout that will follow, talkSPORT’s golf correspondent Rupert Bell suggested it’s time the 15-time major champion stepped back from competition.“Why doesn’t he just decide, ‘Right I’m not going to play anymore, I’ll become Ryder Cup captain.’ Make a decision with that. President’s Cup… you name it,” Bell said. Woods has been urged to step back from golf competition after his latest incidentGetty“He’s working hard behind the scenes to try and resolve all the issues within the PGA Tour. So he’s still got a role to play within the game.“Maybe that’s what he should think, about rather than striving to compete.“But nothing replaces competition. I was at Cheltenham recently. We know ex-jockeys who struggle with that adrenaline rush of winning.“It’s so different just in retirement because that’s where got your kicks from.“And sadly for Tiger, maybe he’s still striving for past glories, but his body is not so willing.”
