He’s crashing out.

Car crash-prone Tiger Woods was forced to crawl out of his luxury SUV after rolling it Friday in yet another Florida roadway washout — that resulted in DUI charges.

Woods was not injured in the crash just before 2 p.m. in Jupiter Island four minutes from his house, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said.

The sheriff said Woods attempted to drive around a flatbed truck, which was pulling into a driveway, at a “high-rate of speed,” but then swerved to avoid an oncoming car. He then allegedly clipped the truck, which prompted the Land Rover to flip.

After crawling from the wreck, Woods was greeted by cops, who quickly noticed the golf star seemed unusually lethargic.

“Mr. Woods did exemplify the signs of impairment,” the sheriff said.

Woods appeared to be under the influence of “some type of medication or drug” — as a breath test showed absolutely no signs of alcohol, Budensiek said.

The golfer faces charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusing a lawful test.

The fender fracas comes days after Woods, 50, made his golf return at the TGL Finals. 

The 15-time major champion’s career has been stuck in the rough after he was seriously injured in a 2021 car crash in California that left him with multiple fractures to his legs and required immediate major surgery.

Before that, Woods’ escapades behind the wheel – and outside his marital vows – had also damaged his once-sterling reputation as a clean-cut golf star.

He was infamously busted for driving high on prescription pills in 2017 along a Jupiter road, leading to a much-mocked, bleary-eyed mugshot.

And, perhaps most embarrassingly, Woods crashed a Cadillac SUV into his Florida neighbor’s tree in the wake of a 2009 cheating scandal that blew up his marriage to Elin Nordegren.

The Swedish former model ironically swung a golf club to open Woods’ car windows as the golfer was knocked unconscious.

After the crash in California, Woods has unsuccessfully tried to return to his perch atop the golf world, while launching a new romance with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

Trump nor her golf phenom daughter Kai Trump were in Woods’ car at the time of the crash, sources told Page Six.

Photos from the two-vehicle crash shared by local outlet WPTV showed a Range Rover on its side along Beach Road.

He last played at the British Open in 2024 before ongoing back-to-back surgeries for a ruptured left Achilles and to replace a lumbar disc.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump revealed in a phone interview with Fox News’ “The Five” that Woods will not partake in The Masters in April.

Trump also chimed in Friday about his chum’s latest woes.

“I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man. But some difficulty,” Trump told reporters when he landed in Miami to speak at the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit.
