Tiger Woods remains scheduled to appear at Augusta National next month despite being arrested on Friday after flipping his car. The 50-year-old golf legend was charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test following the crash.
Woods spent eight hours in custody before being released without injury. He allegedly attempted to overtake a lorry towing a pressure cleaner trailer at high speed, causing his vehicle to roll onto its side. He escaped through the passenger door.
The 15-time major champion is expected to attend an engagement with Masters chairman Fred Ridley at Augusta, celebrating a project at 'The Patch' municipal golf course, where his design team created a short course.
Woods has been recovering from an Achilles injury and back surgery, missing the entire 2024 major season. He had not ruled out competing in the Masters next month, saying: 'I keep trying. I want to play. I love the tournament.'
However, former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley cast doubt on Woods' participation. 'I would say his whole life is in turmoil at this moment in time. I'd be surprised if we see him at the Masters,' McGinley told Sky Sports News.
