Tiger Woods Faces DUI Case; Charlie Woods Commits to College

Tiger Woods appeared in court in Florida regarding his DUI case. This follows his arrest for driving under the influence. The arrest took place after a car accident in which hydrocodone pills were found on him. It was his second DUI incident in a decade. Woods had told authorities about his back surgeries and multiple leg operations, indicating he took prescription medications. Law enforcement observed signs of impairment, noting he was sweating and moving slowly. His eyes appeared bloodshot and dilated during field sobriety tests.

Woods announced he was seeking treatment after his arrest. His ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, expressed concern. Woods has not played golf since the 2024 Open Championship. He hoped to play in April’s Masters but missed the 2026 season entirely.

While dealing with personal challenges, Woods joined the family celebration for his son Charlie. Charlie Woods has committed to play golf at Florida State University. He shared this commitment in February: “Excited to announce my commitment to play golf at Florida State University — go Noles!” Tiger Woods, along with Nordegren, attended the celebration ceremony at Charlie’s high school. Charlie posed for photos with his family and coaches during the event in November 2026. Despite their past divorce due to infidelity, the family gathered to support Charlie’s achievements.

Woods’ recent public appearance was rare as he has kept a low profile since his arrest. His return to professional golf remains uncertain.
