<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTiger Woods found himself at the centre of an unexpected broadcast controversy after NBC issued an on-air apology for mistakenly showing footage from a previous crash while reporting on his latest arrest following a vehicle incident in Florida. The error, which aired during live golf coverage, quickly drew attention from viewers, prompting a public correction from the network as details of Woods\u2019 most recent crash and charges continued to emerge. <\/p>\n The mistake occurred during NBC\u2019s coverage of a PGA Tour event in Texas, when studio analysis of Woods\u2019 latest crash was accompanied by footage from his far more serious 2021 accident in California. Viewers were quick to spot the discrepancy, with some calling out the network in real time. One user wrote on X: \u201cWell done NBC Sports. The video you just showed of Tiger Woods vehicle was not from his accident yesterday. Come on, do better,\u201d while another described the segment as \u201cdespicable,\u201d criticising the use of outdated footage instead of the recent incident. The network later addressed the error on air, with host Dan Hicks issuing a correction during coverage later that day. \u201cWe want to take this time to make a correction,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cBefore we came on the air today with our regular PGA Tour coverage… our studio show inadvertently showed the incorrect picture of the car crash Tiger Woods was in.\u201d Clarifying the mix-up, he added: \u201cIt was another previous car crash. It was not the correct one. The latest one, that was yesterday, so, we apologize for that. Just wanted to straighten that out before we go any further.\u201d <\/p>\n The apology came as more details surfaced about Woods\u2019 most recent incident, which took place on Friday (March 27) in Jupiter Island, Florida. According to the Martin County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Woods was driving at \u201chigh speed\u201d when he attempted to overtake a truck. His vehicle made contact with a pressure washer trailer attached to the truck, causing the car to flip and slide \u201cfor a pretty decent space before he came to a stop.\u201d Authorities said Woods exited the vehicle through the passenger side after the crash.<\/p>\n This handout photo provided by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office shows Tiger Woods, in Stuart, Fla., Friday, March 27, 2026.

He was charged with two misdemeanours: DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters that officers carried out multiple roadside assessments, explaining: \u201cThey did several tests on him\u2026 He did explain the injuries and surgeries that he\u2019s had and we did take that into account, but they did some in-depth roadside tests.\u201d Budensiek added that while alcohol did not appear to be a factor, \u201cMr Woods did a breathalyser test with triple zeros\u201d \u2014 the golfer refused to undergo a urinalysis test, which led to the additional charge. At the scene, the sheriff said Woods appeared \u201clethargic\u201d and showed \u201csigns of impairment.\u201d <\/p>\nOn-air mix-up and NBC\u2019s apology <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
