Tiger Woods breaks silence on Memorial Day following DUI arrest in Florida
JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. (CBS12) — Famous golfer Tiger Woods broke his silence on Memorial Day following his DUI arrest in Jupiter.
On X, Woods — whose full name is Eldrick Tont Woods — shared a Memorial Day tribute to his father, writing, “My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service. To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth.”
In March, Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a two-vehicle rollover crash involving a pickup truck and his Land Rover.

Following his arrest, Woods, 50, waived his arraignment and pleaded not guilty in the Martin County case. The plea came after a probable cause affidavit revealed deputies found two white pills in Woods’ pocket, identified by their imprint as hydrocodone during the DUI arrest. The case also includes a refusal to submit to a urine test under a recently strengthened Florida law.
The arrest led Martin County prosecutors to subpoena Woods’ prescription records and order him to appear in court in May. However, Woods did not appear at the Stuart courthouse, and his attorney, Doug Duncan, appeared on his behalf.
Duncan said during the court hearing, the defense is no longer opposing the subpoena, and both the state and defense agreed the records should only be made available to attorneys and law enforcement. As a result, the prescription records will not become public record and will not be available to the media.

The case against Woods remains ongoing.

SpaceX launches rocket from Cape Canaveral on Memorial Day morning. See photos.
A SpaceX rocket soared into the Monday morning sky, starting off Memorial Day on Florida’s Space Coast with a rumble.
Liftoff occurred on time at 7:48 a.m. May 25 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission, known as Starlink 10-47, featured a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the latest batch of Starlink internet satellites to orbit.
The rocket rumbled on a northeast trajectory, across the clearing morning sky. Showers had moved through the area overnight, but cleared in time for the liftoff, which marked the 35th of the year for Florida.
No Brevard County sonic booms were heard, as the Falcon 9’s first stage booster landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
When is the next Florida rocket launch?
Early risers are in for a treat, as the next liftoff is also set to occur in the morning hours.
The next launch from Florida is set for no earlier than 7:52 a.m. Friday, May 29 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Expect to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lift off on another Starlink mission.
If needed, the May 29 launch window extends until 11:52 a.m.

South Florida set for a hot, humid Sunday as Memorial Day weekend continues
The NEXT Weather Team is tracking another hot and humid day across South Florida on this Sunday Funday. The high humidity and extensive sunshine will make it feel like it is in the mid- to upper-90s across the metroplex and the lower Keys.
As South Floridians head to the beach and out on the water for this Memorial Day weekend, we have several alerts. On the beach, the rip current risk is high, which means beachgoers should stay on the sand and out of the water. On the water, we have small craft cautions in both the Atlantic and Keys waters.
The heat and humidity stretches through Memorial Day on Monday and into Tuesday. The rainy and stormy season returns to South Florida on Wednesday. We will see increased storm chances starting then and running through next weekend.
