Tiger Woods has been involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida.
The condition of the 50-year-old golf star is not immediately clear. The incident happened just after 2pm Friday afternoon near 281 Beach Road.
According to KATU in Florida, it was a two-vehicle collision. One person is apparently stable, while another refused to go to hospital.
Woods was involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, which shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle. He needed multiple surgeries to recover from his injuries.
The accident comes just days after Woods made his hugely anticipated return to golf at an event on Tuesday night, where girlfriend Vanessa Trump was watching him play.
Woods was weighing up whether to compete in The Masters at Augusta National, Georgia in early April after undergoing a seventh back surgery last October. He said this week that, despite returning to golf, he has days where he struggles to move.

‘Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days,’ he said this week of his overall health.
‘Disc replacement is not a lot of fun. I’ve had a lot of procedures prior to that, so the body doesn’t quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn’t quite bounce back.
‘So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it’s hard to just to move around.’
As well as Woods’ ongoing back issues, he also tore his Achilles last March. He last played a tournament in July 2024 at The Open Championship in Scotland.
Remarkably, President Donald Trump had said on Thursday night that Woods – who he is friends with – would not be playing at Augusta.
‘I love Tiger but he won’t be there,’ Trump told Fox. ‘He will be there but he won’t be playing in it.’
In 2017 Woods was arrested for DUI after police found him slumped in his car in Florida with five drugs in his system, including two two painkillers.
He subsequently checked into rehab for painkiller addiction.

He was involved in another high-profile crash in 2009 when he hit a fire hydrant after being chased from his home by then-wife Elin Nordegren, which led him to admit to multiple affairs and drug use.
Woods and Nordegren eventually divorced in 2010 but have remained friends while co-parenting their children.
‘Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic,’ Woods told Time magazine in 2015. ‘We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then.’
Their 17-year-old son, Charlie, is an aspiring golfer and the former couple often reunite to support him at events. They also have a daughter, Sam, who is 18.
Woods has been dating Vanessa Trump for over a year – their relationship was first reported by the Daily Mail in March 2025 after they first started seeing each other around Thanksgiving 2024.
Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, is also an avid golfer who has commited to play at college level for the University of Miami.
His 2021 crash in California happened when Woods lost control on a downhill stretch of road, smashed through a road sign and rolled his car several hundred feet in a horror smash that police said he was ‘lucky to survive’.
Firefighters had to use a halligan tool to extricate Woods, freeing him from the car via the window.
The Daily Mail has contacted Woods’ agent for comment.
