Tiger Woods’ troubling history with prescription pills back in the spotlight after DUI bust in latest car crash

News RoomBy News RoomMarch 27, 20261 ViewsNo Comments

Tiger Woods’ troubled past with prescription drugs was thrust back into the spotlight Friday after the crash-prone golf legend was charged with DUI following his latest car wreck.

The 15-time major champion was allegedly under the influence of “some type of medication or drug” when he flipped his luxury Land Rover around 2 p.m. on Jupiter Island, according to the Martin County Sheriff.

The latest scandal for the golf great follows multiple rehab stints for his abuse of prescription pills that has been tied to prior smash-ups.

Woods was infamously busted for driving high on prescription pills — including Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC — in 2017 along a Jupiter road, leading to a widely mocked, bleary-eyed mugshot.

Cops found him asleep behind the wheel, about 15 miles from his home, in the wee house of Memorial Day, with the engine running, which he later blamed on a bad mix of pain meds.

Woods told officers he was taking the pills to ease the pain from back surgery.

Beginning in spring 2014, he underwent four back surgeries – including a fusion operation just two months before the high-profile incident.

He eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving and agreed to enter a diversion program for first-time DUI offenders.

Woods also checked into a treatment clinic in an effort to overcome his dependence on painkillers.

He was not injured in Friday’s crash.

Martin County Sheriff John Budenseik said Woods tried to whip around a flatbed truck pulling into a driveway at a “high rate of speed” — but swerved to avoid an oncoming car, allegedly clipping the truck and sending his Land Rover tumbling.

Police said the golfer seemed unusually lethargic — with a breath test showing no signs of alcohol.

Woods is currently being held at the county jail.
