The fame that Tiger Woods has garnered over his many years as one of the world's top golfers does come with its drawbacks. After the 15-time major winner wasinvolved in a rollover crash Friday, then arrested andcharged with a DUI, his latest mugshot quickly made the rounds on social media.
Less than two days later, that same mugshot can be seen on several T-shirts, worn by fans at theTexas Children's Houston Open, with the words "#FreeTiger" underneath.
Woods, 50, is no stranger to fans repping his mugshots. Following a 2017 DUI arrest, Woods' mugshot was used similarly on shirts and signs at PGA Tour events.
What happened with Tiger Woods on Friday?
Woods was involved in a rollover crash, and when authorities arrived, they determined Woods was impaired. He was transported to Martin County Jail, where he remained until Friday night. Although Woods passed a breathalyzer test at the facility, he refused to take a urine test, which got him arrested on suspicion of DUI, property damage and refusal to submit a lawful test.

Have other golfers received similar 'mugshot' treatment?
Though not a DUI, fans at the 2024 PGA Championship famously wore Scottie Scheffler's mugshot during the tournament after the golfer got into an altercation with a police officer ahead of the tournament's second round. He was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding signals.
Scheffler took the incident in stride though, and the altercation was even joked about during Scheffler's appearance in 2025'sHappy Gilmore 2, where Scheffler throws a hockey punch against a rival golfer and is taken away in handcuffs before saying "Oh no, not again."
