Tiger Woods was arrested in Florida on Friday following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island. The golfer faces misdemeanour charges of DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after declining to provide a urine sample, according to the sheriff's office.

The charges followed a crash at about 2 p.m. in which Woods, who was alone in the vehicle, reportedly attempted to pass a vehicle towing a trailer at speed before clipping it and overturning his SUV. Authorities said Woods was uninjured and the other driver also escaped without harm.
