On Saturday, some golf fans were seen wearing white T-shirts with Woods’ booking photo emblazoned on the front. The shirt also had the words “#FreeTiger.”
Woods was released from jail Friday night after being booked into Martin County on a DUI charge. In his booking photo, Woods’ eyes appeared bloodshot as he wore a blue polo shirt. Woods was seen leaving jail in the passenger seat of a black SUV after his release on bond Friday night, according to The Associated Press.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at a news conference that Woods was traveling at a “high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing his vehicle to roll onto the driver’s side.

Authorities said Woods “exemplifies signs of deterioration.” He put “triple zeros” on alcohol, but refused to take a urine test.
“DUI investigators arrived on the scene here, and Mr. Woods exhibited signs of impairment. They ran several tests on him. Of course, he explained the injuries and surgeries he had. We took that into account, but they ran some in-depth tests on the road,” Budensiek added.
“We didn’t really suspect that alcohol was involved in this case, and that turned out to be true in jail… But when it came time to ask him for a urine test, he refused. And because of that, he’s been charged with DUI, property damage, and refusing to submit to a legal test.”
Woods was seen talking on the phone after the accident, wearing navy blue shorts.
