Golf star Tiger Woods has been involved in a car crash in Florida, police have confirmed.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the collision on Jupiter Island, which took place on Friday just after 14:00 local time (about 19:00 GMT).

The BBC’s US media partner CBS, external says a source at Martin County Fire Rescue confirmed it was a two-car crash, with one vehicle rolling over.

One person is stable, while another refused to go to hospital. Woods’ condition is not yet known.

No further details – including the cause of the crash – have been released. Police are scheduled to provide an update at about 21:00 GMT.

This is not the first time Woods, 50, has been involved in a car accident – the 15-time major champion has played a limited schedule since a 2021 crash that left him with extensive injuries and fortunate to be alive.

In 2017 police officers found him slumped at the wheel of his parked Mercedes-Benz not far from his Florida home.

A toxicology report found Woods had several legal medications in his system and marijuana’s active ingredient, and he was sentenced to a year’s probation after pleading guilty to reckless driving.

In 2009 Woods hit a fire hydrant, a tree, and several hedges in a bizarre collision outside his home.

The incident sparked accusations of extramarital affairs which led to the end of his seven-year marriage and the loss of lucrative sponsorship deals.

The BBC has contacted Woods’ representatives for comment.
