Tiger Woods has generated a lot of news in the past week after being involved in a rollover car crash on March 27. Fortunately, the golfer was unharmed in the incident, and the cops saw him exiting the car through the passenger window. According to reports, Woods even passed the alcohol breath analyzer test after the crash, blowing a triple zero into the machine.
Interestingly, Tiger Woods then refused to provide a sample for a urine analysis test, raising questions about whether the golfer was taking medicine. A subsequent report has settled the issues, as cops discovered that Woods had hydrocodone tablets in his pocket during the incident and admitted to taking a handful of them when questioned.
An X post by NUCLR Golf confirmed the details as it read,
“🚨🚔🐅 #NEW — Tiger Woods told police he was distracted by his phone and radio at the time of his rollover crash last Friday. Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket, with Woods telling police, “I take a few” when asked if he takes any prescription meds.”
Hydrocodone pills are typically used as pain relievers to prevent chronic discomfort, and Tiger Woods may be taking this medication to treat his back difficulties. In October 2025, the golfer underwent surgery in his lower back to replace an L4-L5 disc. Woods claims that, while the surgery was a success, but he has yet to fully recuperate because his body is not the same as it was when he was 25-30.
How did Tiger Woods get out of his car following the accident?
More information about Tiger Woods’ rollover car accident has emerged, revealing that Woods was distracted by the radio and phone. During the collision, he was overtaking a truck when his Land Rover flipped over owing to distraction. Woods claimed that when he realized he was going off course, it was too late. Later, the golfer was assisted by the driver of the second automobile, Jeremy Bullard, in exiting his vehicle through the passenger window.
Tiger Woods was reportedly reported to be sweating profusely at the moment, with bloodshot eyes. Cops questioned Woods about this, and the golfer replied that he had not used alcohol or any other illegal substance. According to reports, the golfer was wearing compression socks and had severe hiccups. The collision occurred 5 minutes away from his home, resulting in property damage of $5,000.
The 82-time PGA Tour winner was brought to the hospital shortly after the accident, but he declined to get any treatment. Woods’ court appearance is scheduled for later in April. Because of this incident, there have been concerns over the golfers’ availability for the season’s opening major, the 2026 Masters.
