Newly released bodycam footage shows Tiger Woods crouching down on the side of the road moments after he crashed his car in Jupiter Island, Florida, last week.

The surprising footage shows the golf great, 50, in sunglasses and a backwards hat while kneeling down in the grass as he’s questioned by police.

“Looked down at my phone and then all the sudden, boom,” Woods tells the responding officers.

The police then proceed to pat Woods down while checking the five-time Masters champ for any potential injuries.

Additional bodycam footage from the roadway shows the troubled golfer’s Land Rover flipped on its side.

“Who hit him?” an officer asks the driver of the other vehicle involved in the scary crash.

“He hit me,” the other driver responds before pointing at Woods’ flipped Land Rover.

Woods’ rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The PGA legend was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after the car crash just blocks from his Florida home on March 27.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed during a press conference that Woods “showed signs of impairment” and “refused a urinalysis test” following his crash.

A police report obtained by Page Six revealed that “two white pills” later “revealed to be hydrocodone” were found inside the golfer’s “left side pant pocket.”

Although Woods claimed he had not consumed any alcohol or illegal substances before the crash, the affidavit said that he admitted to taking “a few” prescription medications.

The responding officers said they “observed several signs of impairment” while speaking with Woods, who was “sweating profusely.”

When Woods was asked to remove his sunglasses, the officers noticed that his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and that his pupils were “extremely dilated.”

As for the crash, Woods told the deputies that he was “looking down at his cellphone and changing the radio station and did not notice the vehicle in front of him had slowed down,” per the police report.
