Tiger Woods has been involved in a car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida on Friday, confirmed by the Sheriff’s Office for Martin County.

There is no information yet on whether Woods sustained any injuries with his condition not immediately clear.

The crash occurred just after 2pm local time and happened in the same town where Woods lives. Photos from the scene showed the vehicle lying on the driver’s side.

Woods has been working toward a return to competitive golf after rupturing an Achilles tendon in March 2025 and undergoing back surgery last October.

He competed for the first time in more than a year during Tuesday’s TGL finals, where his Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club. He had not decided whether to play in the Masters from April 9-12.

Woods has been playing a limited schedule since being involved in a ⁠car crash that occurred in Southern California in February 2021 in which the vehicle rolled several times and left him trapped inside.

The 15-time major champion later had surgery to deal with open fractures to his lower right leg, a rod placed in a tibia, and had screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.

Woods later said doctors considered amputation.

Following the accident, Woods began a rehabilitation process that included three months in a hospital-type bed in his home.

He had at least one more surgery related to injuries from the crash in April 2023.

In 2017, Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Jupiter, Florida.

An incident report at the time said that he was asleep and “had to be woken up.” Woods was later released on his own recognisance.

Woods shared a statement after the incident apologising to his family, friends and fans.

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump claimed Woods will not play at the Masters but that he will be there to watch, despite the golfer saying only days ago that he’ll he’ll be trying everything to play at the tournament where he has a lifetime eligibility.

After recovering from back surgery last October, months after rupturing his Achilles tendon, Woods, 50, has been in contention to return to competitive golf for the first time since The Open in the summer of 2024.

Speaking to Fox News programme The Five, Trump stated: “I love Tiger, but he won’t be there. He’ll be there, but he won’t be playing in it.”

The five-time Masters winner indicated he remained hopeful of competing, stating he is “trying” to participate despite ongoing physical challenges.

“I’ve been trying. It’s just this body doesn’t recover like when I was 24, 25,” Woods said.

“It doesn’t mean I’m not trying – I’ve been trying for a while.”

In 2000-2001, Woods became the only player to win all four majors in succession.

The last time Woods won a major was in 2019, at the Masters.
