Tiger Woods, 50, the "golf emperor," who was arrested by police on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, was released after posting bail, authorities said on the 28th Korea time.
According to local media including the AP, the Martin County Sheriff's Office in Florida said that Woods returned home after paying bail. The amount was not disclosed.
The sheriff's office also released Woods' mug shot. Wearing the blue shirt he had on at the time of the crash, he stared into the camera with bloodshot eyes.
At about 2 p.m. on the 27th local time, Woods caused a traffic accident while driving his Land Rover on a two-lane road near his home on Jupiter Island in Martin County, Florida.
While attempting to pass a pickup truck towing a small trailer, he collided and the impact caused his vehicle to overturn. Woods crawled out through the passenger-side window but was not seriously injured.
According to authorities, Woods took a breathalyzer test at the scene and tested negative, but he refused a urine test, was arrested, and was detained under state law.
USA Today, citing Florida statutes, said, "A first DUI offense can bring up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, and refusing a lawful test can bring up to 60 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, and a license suspension."
