(JUPITER ISLAND, Fla.) –Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.
His condition was not immediately clear.
ABC News has reached out to Woods’ reps for comment.
The SUV he was driving, a 2021 Genesis GV80, was found several feet away from the center divider, in an area that had a “high-frequency” of accidents, officials said at the time.
Authorities said there was no “evidence of impairment” in that crash, adding that the wreck was “purely an accident.”
Following the accident, Woods told Golf Digest in an interview that he began a rehabilitation process that included three months in a hospital-type bed in his home.
In 2017, Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Jupiter, Florida. An incident report at the time said that he was asleep and “had to be woken up.” Woods was later released on his own recognizance.
Woods shared a statement after the incident apologizing to his family, friends and fans.

Britney Spears is back online.
After being arrested March 4 for suspected DUI, Britney stopped posting on Instagram. But on Friday, she returned to her feed, sharing a series of video snippets showing her and her son Jayden James Federline posing for mirror selfies.
In one snippet, Jayden, wearing a white fedora, tells his mom, “I wish I could be like Michael.” It’s possible he’s referring to someone who his mom performed with in the past: Michael Jackson, who often wore a fedora onstage.
Britney wrote in the caption, “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing !!! Stay kind !!!”
Following her arrest, a rep for Britney told ABC News that the singer “hopefully … can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time,” adding, “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”
Britney is slated to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on May 4, according to court records.
In other Britney legal news, ABC News has confirmed that her lawyer has filed a cease-and-desist letter against her former security guard Thomas Bunbury. Britney is accusing him of hacking her electronic and iCloud account after he was fired last year.

Much like 2025’s “Call It Home (A Song for North Dakota),” Tigirlily Gold’s new track, “Country & Midwestern,” shines the spotlight on the duo’s home state.
“We grew up in North Dakota and when we moved to Nashville about nine years ago, people would always say ‘Wow, I’ve never met anybody from North Dakota. What’s it like growing up in the Midwest?’ So, we decided we should let everybody know!” Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh say in a news release.
“It’s just as country as living in the south, just a different kind of country,” they continue. “We have a hotdish instead of a casserole, and we eat walleye instead of catfish. So, we hope you love this Midwest anthem!”
Kendra and Krista were named official ambassadors for North Dakota in 2025.
“Country & Midwestern” is the pair’s first new music since “Mess Out of Me” came out in October.
Next up, Tigirlily Gold is set to join Carly Pearce on her European tour in May.

(NEW YORK) — The Israel Defense Forces need “a few more weeks” to fully degrade Iranian military capabilities, such as missile-launchers, a senior Israeli security official told ABC News.
The Israeli security official poured cold water on the idea that a substantive deal between the United States and Iran could be reached within President Donald Trump’s earlier deadline of this weekend. Trump said Thursday that he was postponing plans to target Iran’s power plants until April 6 citing ongoing talks.
The Iranians “are very well-trained negotiators,” the security official said. “They won’t agree in a few days to end all the actions.”
The senior Israeli security official, who spoke to ABC News on the condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media, said he was worried that U.S.-Iran talks could lead to a deal which does not extract significant enough concessions from the Iranians.
The Israeli security official said that if he were advising U.S. negotiators he would ask “to see actions [from the Iranians] that can be measured.”
“For example, giving [up] all the 400 kilograms of enriched uranium,” he added.
Iran has previously denied U.S. and Israeli accusations that it was enriching uranium to near weapons-grade level, with an ultimate aim of producing nuclear weapons.
The Israeli official spoke to ABC News on Tuesday, the day after Trump posted on his social media platform that there had been “very good and productive conversations” between the U.S. and Iran “regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”
Iranian officials have denied — at least publicly — that negotiations with the U.S. are taking place. On Wednesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, told Indian TV that there were “no talks or negotiations” between Iran and the United States.
“No one can trust U.S. diplomacy,” Baqaei added.
However, on Thursday a Reuters report quoted an Iranian official as saying that a U.S. proposal for ending the war was “one-sided and unfair.”
The White House said in a statement that the U.S. military had been “decimating Iran’s military capabilities with overwhelming firepower, skill, lethality, and force.”
“The United States is winning very decisively and way ahead of schedule,” a White House official said.
“We have taken major strides towards completing our military objectives, to the point that we are close to completing them,” the White House added.
On Thursday, Trump announced a further pause in plans to hit Iran’s power plants, again citing talks that he said were “going very well.”
An Israeli military official who was authorized to speak with journalists told reporters during a briefing Wednesday that the Israeli Air Force had conducted 8,500 strikes in Iran since the end of February and had destroyed some 400 Iranian ballistic missiles and 335 missile-launchers, which equated, he said, to about 70% of Iran’s overall arsenal of missile-launchers.
However, when the military official was pressed by reporters on the extent to which the IDF’s military operations and goals were outstanding in the war, he declined to give details, stressing that the U.S. and Israeli militaries were “well-coordinated” and working “shoulder-to-shoulder.”
“We are achieving more and more of our objectives,” said the military official , who is part of the IDF division that coordinates operations deep inside enemy territory.
“War is not a one bang and it’s over. It’s an ongoing machine,” he added.
The senior Israeli security official who spoke anonymously to ABC News said the speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, was leading the talks with the Trump administration.
Ghalibaf’s apparent leading role in negotiations, which has not been confirmed by the U.S. or Iran, was first reported by Axios.
On Monday, Trump refused to confirm which senior Iranian official the U.S. was in talks with, telling reporters, “I don’t want him to be killed” and referring to the Iranian lead negotiator as “a top person.”
The senior Israeli security official described Ghalibaf, who is a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Air Force, as “an extremist” and “not Mother Teresa” and told ABC News that Israel would refrain from attempting to kill Ghalibaf while the talks continue.
“He has this kind of insurance [policy] as long as he talks,” the official said, adding, “no one is secure in Iran.”
Asked by a reporter if the IDF was holding off on any attempts to kill Ghalibaf, the military official did not comment directly about Ghalibaf but stressed that, in terms of its list of targets, the IDF would accept and follow any political decisions.
Earlier this week, the Trump administration sent a 15-point plan to Iran end the war, via Pakistan, which has emerged as a key mediator, two sources familiar with the plan told ABC News Tuesday.
Those sources said the plan addresses Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs as well as maritime routes but would not provide any other details including which Iranian officials the proposal was sent to. It is also unclear whether Israel has signed onto the proposal.
While diplomatic efforts continue, the Pentagon is preparing to deploy as many as 5,000 additional troops to the Middle East, with some of those forces already in transit.
The troops are a mix of U.S. Army paratroopers and Marines.
However, exactly when the troops will arrive or where they will land is not clear.
Trump has indicated that the negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials have, in part, been focused on Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s stranglehold over that narrow waterway, through which around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas normally passes, has caused a spike in energy prices and volatility in trading on financial markets.
The senior Israeli security official who spoke anonymously with ABC News said Israel was working on the assumption that Iran had laid naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Israeli official stressed that locating naval mines and disarming them is a “complicated” task.
“If one big oil tanker were exploded by a few naval mines, it would play havoc with markets, as well as the insurance for shipping companies, and would send the price of oil skyrocketing,” the Israeli official said.
“If Iran says they have mined the Strait of Hormuz then the basic assumption we must have as commanders … is that they have mined the Strait of Hormuz,” said the Israeli military official who briefed reporters.
In possible talks Israel wants the U.S. to press Iran to give up what remains of its enriched uranium and rein in its proxies in the region, the senior Israeli security official stressed.
That Israeli official suggested that it would not be possible to seize Iran’s enriched uranium by military force.
The two U.S. Marine Expeditionary Units which are being deployed to the Middle East, “don’t have the engineering tools” to conduct an operation to “pull out” Iran’s remaining enriched uranium from underground sites, he said.
Asked about this issue on the briefing with reporters, the military official declined to comment.
The Pentagon declined to comment about the senior Israeli official’s assessment of remaining objectives in the war and the U.S. military’s capabilities.
The White House said the war on Iran was “a conditions-based operation” and said it would conclude when the president “determines that our objectives are met.”

Charlie Puth has been a dad for only 14 days, but he says his new son, Jude Crawford Puth, is already taking after him.
Speaking to Jimmel Kimmel on Thursday, Charlie said, “My son just happens to love the piano.” But he went on to explain that that’s because every time he plays some music — like The Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” for example — the baby poops.
And speaking of “Hey Jude,” Charlie told Jimmy that in his head, he’d imagined a musical moment that would happen with the baby arrived in the world.
“I knew when Jude was born, we were gonna play ‘Hey Jude’ in the delivery room,” Charlie said of the picture he’d had in his head. “And all the nurses and doctors are gonna sing, ‘Na, na, na, na na na na‘ — and that’s exactly what happened.”
During his appearance on JimmyKimmel Live!, Charlie also played the game “Wing It and Sing It,” during which he had to make up a song on the spot to lyrics written for him, which he’d never seen before. The song was about the fatherly advice he’s going to give to Jude when he gets older, so Charlie found himself singing lyrics like, “Always bend at the knees or you’ll throw out your back/ Don’t vape and don’t drink and don’t ever smoke crack.”
The song ended, “You were born a winner, and if you ever need proof/ Just remember your dad is Charlie mother-friggin’ Puth!”

Megan Thee Stallion is officially on Broadway, and she tells Billboard she still “can’t believe it.”
“When I got the opportunity to do it. I was like, ‘Hell yes,'” she says of joining Moulin Rouge! The Musical as Zidler. “This is not like a regular Megan Thee Stallion concert. This is Zidler. This is not even me, but the hotties get to come.”
She encourages her fans to dress up for the show, noting she “met the ‘hottie version’ of Moulin Rouge fans — they call it ‘fan fan fans’ — and they’re on their s*** up there.”
“So the hotties need to come up there ready to see a Broadway show, babe, this is different,” Meg explains. “We’re coming up here, we’re gonna act right, and we’re gonna be dressed the part.”
Meg is the first woman to play Zidler, bringing a fresh take to the character. “I feel like I’m gonna be able to bring a new type of sass, a new type of energy, my own personality,” she says. “I feel like I’m gonna make Zidler be ‘Zi-leisha.’ She’s gonna be funny.”
She also plans to add a “little Megan Thee Stallion spice” to the “already amazing” songs in the musical.
Beyond Broadway, Meg confirmed her next album will be Act III, which will “wrap up this saga of acts that I’ve been doing.”
“On this album, I’m doing definitely what I want to do — as I always do — but I’m also gonna do something a little different. I don’t want to say too much, but … maybe we could call it introducing another alter ego,” she teases.
She says the project will be coming out sometime in 2026.
