JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. — A Martin County judge on Wednesday at a 2 p.m. hearing authorized Tiger Woods to travel abroad while facing misdemeanor DUI charges.
County Judge Darren Steele signed an order permitting Woods to leave the United States to enter inpatient treatment at an overseas facility, according to court records.
The State of Florida did not oppose the request, and the motion cited recommendations from Woods’ treating physician, defense filings said.
Woods was arrested March 27, 2026, after a two-vehicle crash involving a pickup truck and a Land Rover on Jupiter Island. He faces misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to urine testing; pills were found in his pocket, authorities said.
He later posted $1,150 bond. No formal travel restriction had been imposed, but defense attorneys sought court approval for transparency, according to the filing.
Court minutes indicate the state deferred to the court’s discretion, and Judge Steele granted the motion. The order was entered Wednesday afternoon, records show.
Woods has waived his presence at certain preliminary proceedings and agreed to return for future hearings as ordered. No further court dates were immediately announced.
