Mar. 31, 2026 – After the crash, the five-time Masters winner was “sweating profusely” and his movements appeared “lethargic and slow” as he spoke with deputies. The 50-year-old also told deputies he had been looking at his phone and fiddling with the radio before he clipped a truck in front of him. At the crash, Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test, authorities said.
Woods was placed under arrest, and during a search, law enforcement found “two white pills inside Woods’ left side pant pocket,” according to the arrest affidavit.
The pills were later identified as the opioid hydrocodone.
When asked by a deputy if he took any prescription medications, Woods said, “I take a few.”
Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.
The health agency warns that hydrocodone can be habit-forming.
