Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren is reportedly “concerned” after the legendary golfer was arrested for drunk driving following a car crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, last Friday.
A source told People that Nordegren wanted Woods to “do well,” so seeing that he was involved in a rollover accident and then arrested raised concerns.
“The kids are close to Tiger, so of course Elin cares too,” the source told the outlet. “She wants him to be well. Both kids are great and love spending time with their dad. Elin is worried that he was in another car accident and got arrested.”

Woods was arrested at the scene after refusing to give a urine sample to authorities. He was later released from the Martin County Jail Friday evening.
Woods, 50, and Nordegren, 46, share two children: daughter Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 17, who is dedicated to golf at Florida State.
Woods and Nordegren’s marriage was made public after his first car accident in 2009, which led to a sex scandal that ended their relationship.

Woods also had a DUI in Florida in 2017, later admitting he took a mixture of painkillers leading to his arrest. In 2021, Woods was involved in another rollover accident, during which he suffered serious leg injuries, which required emergency surgery.
Woods had just returned to the Golf League for his first competitive round since undergoing further back surgeries, while also needing to repair a torn Achilles tendon.
His teammate, Kevin Kisner, also expressed concern for Woods following his arrest.

“Very disturbing. He was working really hard on his game, trying to practice and get in shape,” Kisner said via Fried Egg Golf. “He signed up for the US Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do everything he could to come back and try to help our TGL team, prepare, and hopefully try to play the Masters.
“It’s just a really unfortunate incident I guess, Brad (Faxon), the only positive is no one was hurt in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.”
Woods’ photo went viral because his eyes appeared bloodshot. He was wearing a blue polo shirt, which was seen on him in the passenger seat of a black SUV as he left the prison.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at a news conference that Woods was driving at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing his vehicle to flip onto the driver’s side.
Authorities said Woods “is an example of signs of impairment.” He blew the “triple zeros” for alcohol but refused the urine test.
“We really didn’t suspect that alcohol was involved in this case, and that proved true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to request a urinalysis, he refused. And so he was charged with driving while intoxicated, criminal damage to property, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”

Woods was charged with driving while intoxicated, damaging property and refusing to submit to a test, all misdemeanor charges. No one was injured, authorities said. Woods was alone in the car and crawled out of the passenger door after the crash.
Woods and Nordegren were together to celebrate their son’s high school golf championship last month. Woods is now dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and mother of Kai Trump, who is committed to playing golf in Miami.
