What we don't know:

It was not immediately known if Woods was hurt in the crash, nor his current condition. Details on the circumstances of the crash were also not known.

FOX Sports reported that Woods competed in the TGL championship earlier this week in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, and her daughter, Kai, watched him in the stands. 

It marked his return to competitive golf after rupturing his Archilles last year, according to FOX Sports. There was speculation about whether Woods would play in The Masters Tournament in April at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. However, President Donald Trump told FOX News' The Five on Thursday that Woods would attend the tournament, but would not play.  

Tiger Woods history of crashes

Timeline:

Friday’s crash marks the fourth time Woods has been involved in a vehicle crash investigation.

The most notorious example dates back to 2009, when his SUV ran over a fire hydrant and hit a tree early on the morning after Thanksgiving. While Woods was cited for careless driving and fined $164, the crash was the start of revelations that he had been cheating on his wife with multiple women.

Woods also lost major corporate sponsorships in the backlash and went to a rehabilitation clinic. He did not return to golf for five months.

In 2017, Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of a car parked awkwardly on the side of the road. He was arrested on a DUI charge and said later he had an unexpected reaction to prescription medicine for his back pain.

Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving and checked into a clinic to get help with prescription medication and a sleep disorder.

In February 2021, Woods was seriously injured in a crash in southern California. He was driving alone through coastal Los Angeles suburbs, going 84 to 87 mph on a curvy downhill road with a 45 mph speed limit, when his SUV struck a raised median, crossed into oncoming lanes and flipped several times. The crash caused "significant" injuries to his right leg that required surgery. He was sidelined from golf for 10 months.

Tiger Woods PGA career

Tiger Woods joined the PGA Tour in 1996. Since then, he's recorded 82 tour wins, 12 international wins, and earned more than $120 million in official earnings.

His last championship win was the ZOZO Championship in Japan in 2019, according to his official PGA bio.
