Trump says Tiger Woods ‘lives a life of pain’ after crash and arrest

  • President Donald Trump has defended Tiger Woods after his DUI arrest in Florida, stating the golf legend is "doing great" but lives "a life of pain."
  • Woods was involved in a rollover car crash last week and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket after the crash, according to a sheriff’s office report released on Tuesday.
  • “He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg,” Trump told the NY Post Tuesday. “He lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He’s an amazing guy. He’s an amazing athlete. He does have pain. He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.”
  • Woods faces charges for DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test, with his first court date set for April 23.
  • This marks Woods' second DUI incident following a previous arrest in 2017, and he was also involved in a serious crash in 2021.
