Tiger Woods is involved in a rollover car crash on Friday, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office. The incident happens around 1 p.m. near Woods' home on Jupiter Island in Florida. Martin County Fire Rescue reports no serious injuries, and CBS 12 carries that update. Authorities say it is still not clear whether Woods suffers any injury in the crash.

The 50-year-old, a 15-time major champion, is already dealing with long-term health issues. Woods hopes to compete in this year's Masters but is still recovering from a seventh back surgery. Woods is also rehabilitating a ruptured Achilles tendon, suffered one year ago, which further limits preparation. These injuries have shaped recent schedule decisions and reduced tournament appearances.

Since the serious crash in February 2021, Woods has struggled to regain former consistency. That incident leaves Woods with significant leg and ankle injuries, which require major treatment and rehabilitation. From that 2021 crash onwards, Woods has entered 11 tournaments but completed only four. During those events, Woods has not mounted a genuine challenge for a PGA Tour victory.

The latest rollover crash adds to a troubled driving record involving two earlier incidents. The first major case occurs in 2017, when Woods is arrested for DUI. Police find Woods asleep at the wheel of a damaged vehicle at the roadside. Woods later states that a harmful mix of painkillers leads to the impaired condition that night.

Authorities in Martin County continue to review details from the Friday rollover involving Woods. Emergency officials confirm that no serious injuries are identified at the scene, easing initial concern. Woods' long recovery from back surgery and a ruptured Achilles tendon already affects playing plans, so the golf world now waits to see whether the latest crash changes those timelines.
