Golf superstar Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash in Florida on Friday, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

No details about the cause of the crash or Woods’ condition were immediately released by the sheriff’s office.

However, Police are investigating, and a county sheriff is scheduled to speak with reporters at 5 p.m. ET.

The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. and happened in the same town where Woods lives.

A photo taken by WPTV in West Palm Beach, Florida, showed what was reportedly Woods’ SUV turned on its driver’s side.

Woods, 50, had spent the past several months recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon and another back surgery in October. The 15-time major champion competed for the first time in more than a year during Tuesday’s TGL finals, where his Jupiter Links GC team lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club.

He had been weighing whether to return to the PGA Tour at the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, the first major of the season, which begins April 9.

Woods last competed on the PGA Tour in July 2024 when he missed the cut at the Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland. He last played four rounds in a PGA Tour event at the 2024 Masters.

In February 2021, Woods suffered significant leg injuries in a one-car crash outside of Los Angeles, in which his SUV rolled several times and left him trapped in the car.

He later had surgery to deal with “open fractures” to his lower right leg, had a rod placed in his tibia and had screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.

Woods was hospitalised for three weeks following the surgery.

At the 2021 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Woods said, “I’m lucky to be alive and also have a limb.” He said it was 50/50 as to whether part of his right leg could have been amputated.
