Tiger Woods has been dealt a second legal blow following his DUI arrest, with the golf legend now cited for careless driving resulting in an accident, a non-criminal traffic violation that carries a $163 fine, nearly a week after his initial arrest in Martin County, Florida.
According to reports from Page sixThe subpoena was issued Thursday.
Woods is not required to appear in court for the traffic violation, which came along with the release of body camera footage from the night of his arrest.
The footage offers the first visual account of what happened.
In one clip, Woods can be seen kneeling on the grass next to his overturned Land Rover, speaking to officers after exiting the vehicle.
“I looked at my phone and suddenly, boom,” he told them. A second video shows him being subjected to field sobriety tests, which he failed, before being handcuffed and arrested.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters at a news conference following the incident that Woods “showed signs of deterioration” and “refused to take a urine test.”
He was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, and was held in the Martin County Jail for approximately eight hours before being released.
A police report states that authorities found Woods holding two white pills in his left pants pocket, later identified as hydrocodone.
Woods initially told officers that he had not consumed alcohol or illegal substances, a claim supported by multiple zero readings on a breathalyzer, but the affidavit reveals that he later admitted to taking “some” prescription medications.
Earlier this week, Woods appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge.
Hours later, he issued a statement announcing that he was stepping away from golf to seek treatment.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he wrote on X.
“I step away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary so I can prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
He added that he was committed to returning “in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally.”
