Tiger Woods Crashes Car While Distracted by Phone

Tiger Woods says he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station before his rollover crash in Florida, according to a police affidavit.
Tiger Woods told authorities he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station before his rollover crash last week in Florida, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The 50-year-old golf star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on Friday afternoon after his Land Rover clipped a truck and rolled onto its side near his home on Jupiter Island.

Deputies cited signs of impairment in the affidavit and hydrocodone pills were found in Woods' pocket after the arrest. The affidavit provides new details on the circumstances leading up to the crash, which left Woods' car heavily damaged.
This incident marks the latest setback for Woods, who has faced a series of personal and physical challenges in recent years, including a high-profile DUI arrest in 2017 and multiple back surgeries that have limited his playing time on the PGA Tour.
Despite his legal troubles and health issues, Woods remains one of the most recognizable and accomplished athletes in the world, having won 15 major championships over the course of his illustrious career. The crash has raised further questions about Woods' well-being and his ability to continue competing at the highest levels of professional golf.
Authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the rollover accident, but the new affidavit provides insight into Woods' actions in the moments leading up to the incident. As the golf legend continues to recover, both physically and mentally, this latest setback is sure to be a topic of intense scrutiny and speculation in the sports world.
