Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren is reportedly “concerned” after the legendary golfer’s arrest for driving under the influence following a car crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, last Friday.
A source told People that Nordegren wants Woods “to be okay,” so seeing him involved in a rollover accident and then arrested raised concerns.
“The kids are close to Tiger, so of course Elin cares too,” the source told the outlet. “She wants him to be okay. Both kids are great and love spending time with their dad. Elin is worried that he’s been in another car accident and will be arrested.”

Woods was arrested at the scene after refusing to give a urine sample to authorities. He was later released from the Martin County Jail on Friday night.
Woods, 50, and Nordegren, 46, share two sons: Sam, 18, and Charlie, 17, who is committed to golf at Florida State.
The marriage between Woods and Nordegren was put on public display after their first car accident occurred in 2009, leading to an exposed sex scandal that ended their relationship.

Woods also had a DUI in Florida in 2017, and later admitted he had taken a mixture of painkillers that led to the arrest. In 2021, Woods was involved in another rollover accident, where he suffered serious leg injuries, requiring emergency surgery.
Woods had just returned to the Golf League for his first round of competition since undergoing more back surgeries, while also needing to repair a torn Achilles tendon.
Teammate Kevin Kisner also expressed concern for Woods following his arrest.

“Very disturbing. He was really working hard on his game, trying to practice and get in shape,” Kisner said, via Fried Egg Golf. “He signed up for the US Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do everything he could to come back and try to help our TGL team, prepare and hopefully try to play in the Masters.
“I guess it was a really unfortunate incident Brad (Faxon), the only positive thing is that no one was hurt in the incident and we can all move on and hopefully help him get better.”
Woods’ mugshot went viral, as his eyes appeared bloodshot. He was wearing a blue polo shirt, which was seen in the passenger seat of a black van as he left jail.
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 the urine test.
“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 charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a test, all misdemeanor charges. No one was injured, authorities said. Woods was alone in the car and crawled out the passenger door after the crash.
Woods and Nordegren were together to celebrate their son’s high school golf championship last month. Woods is now dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and mother of Kai Trump, who is engaged to play golf in Miami.
