Following his DUI arrest in March, a new mugshot of Tiger Woods has been released.
The golf legend is pictured in an additional photo released Friday by the Martin County Sheriffâs Office, wearing what appeared to be dark blue inmate clothing.
The pro athlete appeared to be in a state of shock, with bloodshot eyes.
In the previous photo, Woods appeared to be wearing the same button down, short-sleeved shirt he was wearing when he rolled his Land Rover SUV in Jupiter Island, Florida, while attempting to pass a pressure cleaning truck, and was subsequently arrested.
Authorities said during a press conference the same day that the longtime athlete showed âsigns of impairmentâ and declined a urinalysis test, despite showing a negative breathalyzer test.
Page Six obtained a police report, in which cops claimed they found âtwo white pillsâ said to be hydrocodone inside a pocket.
Authorities also noted that during their encounter following the accident, the five-time Masters Championâs pupils were âextremely dilatedâ and his eyes appeared to be âbloodshot and glassy.â
The sports icon claimed he was âlooking down at his cell phone and changing the radio stationâ at the time of the rollover and didnât ânotice the vehicle in front of him had slowed downâ ahead of a right turn.
Page Six obtained audio from a call from the Martin County Sheriffâs Office following the crash, with one person saying simply, âIâm calling to report a vehicle accident.â
Body cam footage from the scene showed Woods failing a sobriety test and hiccuping following the incident.
Woods was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
He was released from the Martin County Jail on March 28, and pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 31. The same day, he took to X with a statement.
âI know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,â he wrote. âI am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.â
He added that heâs âcommitted to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally.â
âI appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time,â he concluded.
On April 2, he was charged with a non-criminal citation for careless driving resulting in a crash.
The fine for the alleged offense is $163, per docs viewed by Page Six on Thursday, though heâs not required to appear in court.
According to TMZ, the pro golferâs private jet touched down in Zurich, Switzerland, on Friday morning, after he requested permission from a judge to travel outside of Florida for treatment.
Meanwhile, girlfriend Vanessa Trump took to Instagram Stories to express her support for the athlete. âLove you,â she wrote atop a PDA snapshot of the couple, adding two red heart emojis.
