Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested for DUI after a car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida on last afternoon. The golfer just made his return to competition at TGL on Tuesday after undergoing back surgery in October.
Woods, 50, was released from jail Friday night, several hours after being booked on DUI charges. He snuck out the back door of the jail in a failed bid to avoid the media.
Woods’ girlfriend Vanessa Trump shared an Instagram post in the wake of his latest driving woes but the golfer has yet to release a statement.
It’s not Woods’ first car accident; several people in his inner circle are reportedly concerned about his well-being, with questions surfacing about why he does not have a driver.
WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he spoke with golfer Tiger Woods following his Friday DUI arrest in Florida — saying the legendary athlete “lives a life of pain” due to existing physical injuries, but is “doing great.”
“I have” talked with Woods, Trump said in a Tuesday phone interview. “I think he’s doing great, he’s doing good.”

The 50-year-old golfer is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. He was found with two hydrocodone pills in his pocket after the crash in Jupiter Island — telling police he lost control after looking at his phone and changing the radio station.
“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 said.
Donald Trump Jr. is not raising any concerns about the welfare of his children after their mom Vanessa Trump’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, was arrested for DUI.
The eldest child of President Trump isn’t worried about the golf legend being around his and Vanessa’s five children — Kai, 18, Donald John III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11 — sources told TMZ.

The outlet reported that the rollover crash and arrest have not “set off alarm bells” for Trump Jr., 48, because, as Page Six reported, the kids and Vanessa were not in the car.
Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest Friday could be the beginning of the end for his and Vanessa Trump’s relationship, according to a new report.
While the former model initially had a “let’s solve this together” attitude, she became “annoyed” with her partner’s response to the scandal and went “from concern to anger,” a source told the Daily Mail on Monday.

“[He] was basically [like], ‘Yeah yeah yeah, I got it. It’s fine. It’s under control. … Don’t worry, I’m fine,'” the outlet reported, claiming Trump pointed out his “dangerous” behavior is “so obviously not under control.”
The meds were found in the 50-year-old golfer’s left pants pocket after he was forced to crawl from his flipped luxury Land Rover in Jupiter Island, Florida, last Friday, according to an arrest report.
Elin Nordegren is among those worried about Tiger Woods.
In the wake of Woods' car crash in Florida last Friday, the legendary golfer's ex-wife is "concerned" about him, a source told PEOPLE.
Woods, 50, and Nordegren, 46, were married for six years before divorcing in 2010 amid the major cheating scandal.
The pair shares two kids: Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 17.
"The kids are close with Tiger, so of course Elin cares too,” the source said to the outlet. “She wants him to be well. Both kids are great and love spending time with their dad. Elin's concerned that he had another car crash and got arrested.”
The Barstool Sports honcho blasted the legendary golfer over last week's crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., which saw him busted for a suspected DUI, saying his frequent fender benders are "not funny anymore."
"He should have a driver with him wherever he goes...there's no excuse," Portnoy said during Monday's edition of "Wake Up Barstool" on FS1.
"When you get behind the wheel impaired, you're not just putting yourself at risk, you're putting anybody else on the road [at risk], innocent people."
"What is wrong with Tiger Woods? You gotta have someone drive you. He should have a driver with him wherever he goes, there is no excuse." - @stoolpresidentepic.twitter.com/mZmXYIcWJ6
Portnoy suggested that Woods spending time behind bars might be the best way to address his driving issues.
"You can't really make light of it, I've got no sympathy for the guy," Portnoy added. "You know what, put him behind bars, put him in jail for a little bit make him wake up."
Some close with Tiger Woods explained he’s “frustrated and depressed about his state of health” after his latest DUI arrest in a rollover crash Friday in Florida, according to People.
The 50-year-old professional golfer returned to play in the TGL Finals last week after multiple injuries had sidelined him since 2024.
He underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October and also had surgery for a ruptured left Achilles last March.

“He is enabled by people making money off of his talent and reputation, but with his injuries and age, he is frustrated and depressed about his state of health,” one source said of Woods.
“He wants to play in major tournaments like the Masters, but he needs to get real. Once he does that, he should be better off because people do like Tiger. He is a good person.”
The same Woods source expressed concern over his behavior, specifically surrounding his relationship with girlfriend Vanessa Trump.
Car crash-prone Tiger Woods won’t hire a driver to cart him around because he’s too private — and doesn’t want anyone knowing his whereabouts.

“And he thinks he is fine to drive,” the source added.
Woods — who is worth $1.5 billion, according to Forbes — was arrested on suspicion of DUI following another rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., last Friday.
The network apologized Saturday after showing the wrong crash footage while providing details on Tiger Woods’ most recent car crash and DUI arrest during its coverage of the Texas Children’s Houston Open, instead showing footage from the 2021 incident in Los Angeles.

“We want to take this time to make a correction,” NBC Sports announcer Dan Hicks said. “Before we came on the air today with our regular PGA Tour coverage of this Texas Children’s Open, our studio show inadvertently showed the incorrect picture of (the) car crash Tiger Woods was in, it was another previous car crash, it was not the correct one, the latest one that was yesterday, so we apologize for that. Just wanted to straighten that out before we go any forward.”
The awkwardness began earlier in the day when Paul Burmeister provided viewers with an update about Woods, who was arrested and charged with DUI after rolling over his car in a crash on Friday in Florida.
