Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of a DUI in the early hours of Monday, May 29, 2017 , near his home in Jupiter, Florida.

First DUI arrest (2017)

  • Authorities found Woods asleep at the wheel of his running Mercedes‑Benz on the side of the road around 3 a.m. local time on May 29, 2017 , the morning after Memorial Day.
  • He was charged with driving under the influence , but later explained that alcohol was not involved and that he was impaired by a mix of prescription medications following back‑fusion surgery.
  • In October 2017 he pleaded guilty to reckless driving as part of a deal, entering a year‑long first‑offender diversion program, staying out of jail and paying a fine.

Possible confusion with newer news (2026)

  • In late March 2026, fresh reports surfaced that Tiger Woods had again been charged with DUI after a rollover‑style crash in Florida, indicating a new incident separate from the 2017 case.
  • If your question is asking about his latest DUI, that would be the March 2026 arrest , while the original and most widely cited DUI arrest still dates back to May 29, 2017.
