MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies who searched Tiger Woods reported finding “two white pills” inside his “left side pocket” after he was involved in a rollover crash on Friday afternoon near his home in Jupiter Island.

The pills marked “M365″ were hydrocodone, according to an arrest report prepared by Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputies. The opioid analgesic has a high risk of addiction, and it is used to treat pain.

Woods, 50, told deputies he has had seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his leg, according to the arrest report.

The longtime PGA Tour star told deputies that he was driving a black Land Rover when “he looked down at his cell phone and did not realize that” a white Ford F-150 with an attached trailer “had slowed down,” according to the deputies’ report.

“I believe that Woods’ normal faculties were impaired and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle,” a deputy wrote in the report.

Deputies arrested Woods. It was his second DUI arrest since 2017 when he fell asleep at the wheel with five drugs in his system, records showed.

Deputies reported Woods showed “several signs of impairment,” had “bloodshot and glassy” eyes, dilated pupils, was “sweating profusely,” was at times “lethargic and slow,” and was “limping and stumbling to the right.”

Woods was also “extremely alert” and “talkative,” had hiccups, and admitted to taking prescription medications that day, according to the arrest report.

Woods wasn’t injured. After a breathalyzer test showed no signs of alcohol, Woods refused a urine test. He faced a misdemeanor DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to testing.

During a news conference, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said deputies “will never get definitive results with what he was impaired on.”
