The Boston Globe • • sports
Key Points:
- Tiger Woods was involved in a high-speed car crash, marking his second arrest in nine years and fourth crash since 2009, though he was not injured in the incident.
- Investigators suspect Woods was impaired by medication or drugs, but he refused a urine test, preventing definitive results; a breath test showed no alcohol.
- The crash and arrest come at a difficult time for Woods, who was preparing for the Masters and considering the role of Ryder Cup captain for 2027, with the PGA of America awaiting his decision.
- Woods has faced multiple serious injuries and surgeries throughout his career, including a major 2021 crash that severely impacted his playing ability, though he remains a major draw in golf.
- Despite recent setbacks, Woods continues to influence golf as chairman of the Future Competition Committee and through his involvement in projects like the municipal golf course redesign at “The Patch.”
