Tiger Woods was arrested in Florida with prescription opioids found in his pocket after the 15-time major winner was involved in a rollover crash on Friday, according to court records. The five-time Masters winner was arrested on charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a blood-alcohol test after law enforcement said his vehicle collided with another vehicle Friday afternoon while he was driving impaired.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported observing several signs of impairment at the scene, noting that the golf legend was 'sweating profusely' and that his movements appeared 'lethargic and slow.'

'Woods stated he was looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station and did not notice the vehicle in front of him slowing down,' deputies noted in the affidavit. Law enforcement proceeded to perform field sobriety tests because of their suspicions. Woods was instructed to remove his eyeglasses, and the deputy conducting the tests stated that his eyes appeared to be 'bloodshot and glassy' and 'extremely dilated.'

Woods previously told law enforcement prior to the field sobriety tests that he underwent seven back surgeries and 'over 20 operations on his leg.' He told law enforcement that 'I take a few' prescription medications. At the jail, Woods submitted to a breathalyzer, where he provided 0.00 results on both samples. He declined to submit to a urine test, resulting in another charge. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP Friday’s arrest marked Woods' second DUI arrest within the last decade.
