Tiger Woods’ private jet is reportedly headed back to the United States – 40 days after he left to undergo rehab in Switzerland.
The golf legend flew to Europe following his latest car crash. The 50-year-old was detained on March 27 after flipping his SUV while trying to overtake a truck and trailer in Florida. Police found two pills in his pocket after arriving at the scene.Â
But according to TMZ, Woods’ luxury Gulfstream G550 left Zurich Airport on Wednesday afternoon local time – just hours before the PGA Championship kicks off near Philadelphia.Â
Woods is not playing in the year’s second major and it is not clear at this stage where exactly his plane is due to land – or whether Woods is even onboard. But the news reportedly comes days after his jet flew from Florida to Zurich.
Woods has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence and the Daily Mail reported last week that his lawyers are increasingly optimistic he could avoid jail time after his second DUI arrest in Florida since 2017.
Woods was traveling at high speeds on a beachside, residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30mph speed limit when his Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage to the truck, according to an incident report.Â

A sheriff’s office report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket, and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a truck’s trailer and rolled onto its side.Â
Woods agreed to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but refused a urine test, authorities said.Â
Earlier this week, it emerged that prosecutors have been granted permission to access Woods’ medical records in the case – but those notes will not be made public.
The verdict was reached Tuesday morning after a brief hearing in Martin County. Woods, 50, was not present due to being in Switzerland.
Prosecutors have wanted access in order to find out if Woods was advised not to drive while taking prescription medicine for the various ailments he is fighting. In 2025 alone, Woods had surgery on a torn Achilles followed by a seventh back procedure.
The golf legend’s attorney, Douglas Duncan, wanted the records to be limited in terms of who was able to see them and insisted Woods has a right to privacy over his healthcare. Both sides agreed on a protective order shielding them from public view.
This latest saga is the fourth time Woods has been in trouble after being behind the wheel of a car. He was arrested for another DUI in 2017 after police found him slumped in his car in Florida with five drugs in his system, including two painkillers.
Woods was later involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, which shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle.
He needed multiple surgeries in order to recover from his injuries, but didn’t face any charges and no blood test was ever conducted.
He also crashed into a fire hydrant in November 2009 as he tried to flee his Florida home after wife Elin Nordegren discovered he had been having an affair.
