Legendary golfer Tiger Woods was on Friday involved in a car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, raising fresh concerns about the athlete’s health and recovery.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the incident, which reportedly occurred shortly after 2 p.m. local time.

Authorities, however, did not immediately disclose whether Woods sustained any injuries, leaving his condition unclear as of the time of filing this report.

Images from the crash scene showed the vehicle lying on its driver’s side, suggesting a significant impact, though further details about the cause of the accident remain unknown.

The latest incident comes as Woods has been working toward a return to competitive golf following a series of health setbacks.

He had been recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in March 2025, in addition to undergoing back surgery in October the same year—injuries that have kept him away from the sport.

This is not the first time Woods has been involved in a serious road accident. In February 2021, he survived a high-profile crash in which his vehicle rolled multiple times, leaving him trapped and requiring emergency rescue.

The recurrence of such incidents is likely to heighten concerns among fans and the sporting community, particularly given his ongoing recovery journey.

Further updates on Woods’ condition are expected as authorities release more information.
