NBC Host's Awkward Apology for Airing Wrong Tiger Woods Crash Clip

NBC Sports mistakenly aired the wrong photo of a car crash involving Tiger Woods, leading to an apology during their broadcast on Saturday. The error occurred after Woods' recent DUI arrest following another crash.

Broadcast Mix-Up

During coverage of the Houston Open, NBC displayed an image of Woods’ 2021 car accident instead of the latest incident. Commentator Dan Hicks corrected this on-air, clarifying the mistake and apologizing to viewers.

The incorrect photo showed Woods' serious accident in California, where his SUV flipped multiple times. This mix-up happened as the network covered Friday's new crash in Florida.

Details of Recent Arrest

The latest crash involved Woods' Land Rover rolling over after a collision with a truck's trailer in Jupiter Island, Florida. Authorities charged him with driving under the influence after he showed signs of impairment and refused a urinalysis test.

Although his breathalyzer test was negative, Woods spent eight hours in jail before being released. This incident is part of his history with DUI-related issues.

Tiger Woods' Past Incidents

Woods has been previously arrested for DUI suspicion in May 2017 when found asleep at the wheel with his car damaged. After pleading guilty to reckless driving in October 2017, he attributed the situation to medication reactions.

He has not yet commented on the most recent crash and arrest.
