Scary news came on Friday afternoon, without any answers. According to reports, Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash near Beach Road in Jupiter Island, Florida – just minutes from the home he’s owned since 2007.
According to authorities, the crash happened shortly after 2 p.m., with two vehicles involved and one flipping over.
Details are still limited, but officials confirmed that one person was in stable condition while another refused medical treatment. No serious injuries have been reported so far, and the investigation is ongoing.
A history that follows him

At the time, authorities said he had been driving at a high speed before losing control and hitting a tree. He was, as officials put it, “lucky to be alive.”

And then there’s 2009 – the moment that arguably changed everything. Woods crashed near his Florida home after reports of infidelity surfaced. His then-wife, Elin Nordegren, famously used a golf club to smash the windows of the Tigers’ SUV after he drove over a fire hydrant and into a tree. She helped pull him from the vehicle, and what followed was a very public unraveling of his personal life.
A hopeful comeback

Though questions around his health have already been circulating after his recent Achilles injury. He’s also undergone 7 back injuries.
As noted by TMZ, last week, he competed in the TGL finals for his Jupiter Links GC team.
Off the course, his personal life continues to draw attention as well, including his relationship with Vanessa Trump.
