President Donald Trump said he spoke directly with Tiger Woods following the golfer’s recent crash and DUI arrest, offering a positive update on his condition while acknowledging the physical toll Woods continues to endure.
Trump said Woods is holding up well overall, even as he deals with significant pain tied to long-standing injuries. He pointed to Woods’ history of back and leg issues, describing the golfer as someone who has pushed through constant physical challenges throughout his career.
The two have maintained a close relationship over the years, and that connection has drawn renewed attention as Woods continues dating Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr.. The relationship has remained in the spotlight, especially following the recent incident.
Woods was arrested after crashing his Range Rover into a truck towing equipment in South Florida. Authorities reported that he showed signs of impairment at the scene, though a breathalyzer test later confirmed there was no alcohol in his system.
Investigators said Woods appeared lethargic with glassy eyes and dilated pupils. He told deputies he takes prescription medications and had been distracted prior to the crash. A search reportedly uncovered hydrocodone pills, a medication commonly used for severe pain management.
Trump pushed back on the idea that alcohol played a role, emphasizing instead the physical strain Woods has endured for years. He described the golfer as an elite competitor who has continued to battle through injuries that would sideline most athletes.
Woods has undergone multiple surgeries, including procedures on his back and leg following a serious crash in Los Angeles in 2021. His recovery has been ongoing, with recent efforts focused on returning to competitive play.
He had been working toward a potential appearance at The Masters, though his status now remains uncertain following the latest setback.
Woods faces multiple charges, including DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He is scheduled to appear in a Florida court later this month as the legal process moves forward.
