As the saying goes, the devil works fast, but the internet works fast.
Or, in this case, golf fans act fast.
Just one day later Tiger Woods‘ cup shot was released following his recent DUI arrest, fans of the Houston Open golf tournament in Texas were already rocking custom t-shirts with a photo in support of the legendary golfer.
The white shirts feature a mug shot of Woods front and center, with “#FreeTiger” printed underneath.
Fans wore shirts during the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday, March 28. The final round is scheduled for Sunday, March 29.
Woods, 50, was arrested on Friday, March 27, after being involved in a rollover car accident in Jupiter Island, Florida. The 15-time champion was charged with DUI, vandalism and refusing to submit to a legal test after he refused a urine test after authorities arrived at the scene of the accident.

“An investigation began and from the surface, it appeared that the driver of the Land Rover may have been impaired,” said the Martin County Sheriff. John Budensiek at a press conference on Friday. “And at that time, the chief of the Jupiter Island Police Department called me at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office and asked for our help.
He continued, “We know we arrested a high-ranking person … but it doesn’t matter who he is. If you break the law, we will follow the law. That’s a really easy way.”
Woods’ shooting emerged Friday after his arrest, along with photos of the crash. By Saturday afternoon, fans had already printed the image on t-shirts at the Houston Open.
Tiger Woods was arrested and charged with DUI on March 27, 2026, after a car accident in Jupiter Island, Florida, that left his Land Rover rolling on a two-lane road. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed at a news conference that Woods was charged with driving under the influence, vandalism and resisting arrest. […]
Although Woods had not been scheduled to compete in the Houston Open, he was in position to return to the pros before Friday’s accident as there were questions about whether he would compete in April’s Masters.
Meanwhile, World No Scottie Scheffler was scheduled to play at the Houston Open, but withdrew before the start as she prepared for the birth of her second child. Scheffler should return to the Masters.
Woods was involved in another one-car accident back in 2021, which resulted in a broken ankle and two broken legs. Authorities determined that Woods’ speed, not the use of drugs or alcohol, contributed to the crash.
The golfer was also arrested on suspicion of DUI in 2017 during a traffic stop in Florida. The golfer pleaded guilty to reckless driving after various drugs, including painkillers, were found in his system.
