GOLFER TIGER WOODS has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence after a car crash in Florida.
Woods, who was uninjured in the accident, was detained after the car he was driving clipped a truck and flipped over.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said the 50-year-old showed signs of “impairment” but passed a breathalyzer test for alcohol.
“But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test in the crash,” Budensiek said.
BREAKING: "Mr Woods did exemplify signs of impairment."

The reports come five years after Woods was seriously injured in a car crash in California in 2021.
Woods was also involved in a traffic incident in 2017, when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
He later pleaded guilty to reckless driving, paid a $250 fine and attended DUI school.
