Tiger Woods has been involved in a rollover accident on Jupiter Island in Florida.
The condition of the iconic 50-year-old golfer remains uncertain following the incident, which occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon near 281 Beach Road.
Reports from KATU in Florida indicate that the crash involved two vehicles. One individual is reportedly in stable condition, while another declined medical transport.
This incident hearkens back to a similar crash Woods experienced in 2021 in California, where he sustained severe injuries to his right leg after being pinned beneath his car, necessitating multiple surgeries for his recovery.
The accident occurs mere days after Woods made a highly anticipated comeback to the golfing world, participating in an event on Tuesday night, which was attended by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump.
Woods has been contemplating participation in the upcoming Masters Tournament at Augusta National in Georgia this April, following his seventh back surgery last October. Despite his return to the sport, he recently shared that he still faces days when mobility is a challenge.

‘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 filed for an uncontested divorce from ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. in March 2018.

Her daughter, Kai, is also an avid golfer who has commited to play at college level for the University of Miami while also forging a growing profile as an influencer in the sport.
But just as Woods has appeared to find happiness once again away from golf, Friday’s incident is a stark reminder of the troubles that have followed him throughout the course of his life.
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.
Woods is a 15-time Major winner in golf and widely considered to be the most talented player to have ever competed in the game.
The Daily Mail has contacted Woods’ agent for comment.
