Tiger Woods' latest car accident and DUI arrest have put his participation in the 2026 Masters in doubt. The incident occurred just days before the golf tournament, which is set to begin on April 9.
The accident took place near Woods' home on Jupiter Island, where his Land Rover clipped the trailer of a pressure cleaning truck and flipped on its side. Fortunately, Woods was not injured.
Woods' teammate, Kevin Kisner, expressed disappointment over the incident, stating that the only positive was that no one was hurt. Kisner noted that Woods was trying to practice and get back in shape for the tournament.
The timing of the accident is significant, as Woods was set to participate in the Masters alongside Fred Ridley to unveil developments at 'The Patch,' a municipal course redesigned by his team.
The incident has also put Woods' decision to accept the US captaincy for the 2027 Ryder Cup on hold. The PGA of America had reportedly set a soft deadline around the Masters for him to make a decision.
