Tiger Woods has been charged with driving under the influence following a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.

During a press conference, the sheriff's office said that Woods exhibited signs of impairment at the scene of the crash and was arrested.

He was not injured after the crash, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said Woods agreed to take a breathalyzer test which showed no alcohol in his system, but refused to take a urine test, which is used to detect drugs or medication.

In addition to driving under the influence with property damage, Woods was charged with refusal to submit to a lawful test. Both are misdemeanors.

ABC News has reached out to Woods' reps for comment.

The golfer was seriously hurt in a 2021 crash that occurred in Southern California.

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.
