What did police say about Tiger Woods’ pills?

Tiger Woods DUI report: opioids found after crash

Martin County authorities released additional details about Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest following a rollover crash in Florida, describing the events and what was found during the encounter.

According to the police material summarized across reports, officers observed Woods acting “lethargic and slow” after the crash on Jupiter Island. Investigators also said Woods had hydrocodone pills in his pants pocket at the scene. In separate coverage, the account also describes Woods as bloodshot and glassy-eyed during questioning.

A key point for readers is the apparent link between what officers found and what Woods said he was doing before the crash. Multiple reports tied the probable cause narrative to Woods telling authorities he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station moments before the collision—an explanation that, if accepted as the driver’s account, points toward distracted driving as the immediate cause rather than impairment solely from intoxication.

The materials also describe officers’ efforts to assess impairment. One report states Woods refused additional testing beyond the breathalyzer given at the scene. That refusal matters because it can reduce the ability of investigators to conclusively quantify impairment levels.

Why it matters

• It adds context to Woods’ DUI case beyond the fact of the crash and arrest, including the presence of prescription opioids.
• It centers the immediate cause dispute on distraction versus intoxication.
• It raises ongoing questions about how Woods’ medical medications, if prescribed, intersect with driving safety.

With more details continuing to surface, the case is likely to remain a major storyline for sports fans and the broader public, particularly around medication use and driving risk.
