BREAKING: Donald Trump Speaks Out on Tiger Woods’ Florida DUI Rollover Crash — Says Vanessa’s Boyfriend Faces “A Lifetime of Pain”

President Trump told The Post that he spoke with golfer Tiger Woods following his latest 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 — who is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. – allegedly had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket when he flipped his luxury Land Rover in Jupiter Island, Florida, last Friday.

“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.

“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.”

The president added: “He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.”

Investigators revealed the embattled golf great was likely under the influence of “some type of medication or drug” when he clipped a truck and then overturned his SUV just minutes from his home.

Two pills, marked as “M367,” were found in Woods’ left pant pocket after he crawled out of his flipped Land Rover, according to an arrest report obtained by The Post.

The meds were determined to be hydrocodone — an opioid used to treat chronic pain, the report stated.

Woods’ eyes were “bloodshot and glassy,” and his pupils were “extremely dilated” in the immediate aftermath of the crash, the report added.

The athelete — who is worth $1.5 billion, according to Forbes — was also “sweating profusely,” “had hiccups during the entire investigation” and his movements were “lethargic and slow,” the report stated.

The golfing phenomenon, who agreed to undergo a slew of field sobriety tests at the scene, confirmed to officers that he took prescription medication — inlcuding ealier that morning –and noted his prior medical history included “seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his leg.”

A breath test ultimately came back with no signs of alcohol, but Woods refused to undergo a urinalysis test at the scene, the report stated.

Woods, for his part, told cops he lost control after looking at his phone and changing the radio station.

He claimed he didn’t see the vehicle in front of him slowing down before he clipped it.

Woods was ultimately charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusing a lawful test. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday.

He once again retained Attorney Douglas Duncan, who represented the troubled golfer during his infamous 2017 DUI legal battle.

During the 2017 bust, Woods was found asleep behind the wheel with the engine running, the right blinker on, two flat tires, and light damage to the driver’s side.

In February 2021, he ran his SUV off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries.

Golf’s biggest star, Tiger Woods, is pulling the strings behind the scenes as the PGA Tour’s future takes shape

NASSAU, Bahamas — It’s impossible to measure Tiger Woods’ impact on professional golf — from 15 major championship victories and 82 PGA Tour titles to the cultural shockwave he sent through the game when he arrived in the late 1990s.

But of all the things the “Little Kid from Cypress, California,” — his words — accomplished, it may be his backroom maneuvering in the twilight of his professional career that leaves the most significant legacy.

Brian Rolapp’s vision of PGA Tour 2.0 is as sweeping as it is iconoclastic. This is not “incremental” change — again, his words; this is “significant” change, and to that end, the PGA Tour’s new front man has enlisted the only person, either outside or inside the confines of PGA Tour HQ, that can get him there. Naming Woods chair of the Future Competitions Committee wasn’t a luxury, it was a necessity with force-multiplier implications.

What is to come as early as 2027 to the PGA Tour will be a foundational change that will leave the circuit indistinguishable to many.

To get to that seminal transition, Rolapp has tasked Woods and the FCC with three not-so-simple tenets: “parity, scarcity and simplicity.”

Most will skip past “simplicity” and acknowledge that the Tour’s season-long points race is no closer to an easily-digestible product now than it was when it was unveiled in 2007; and “parity,” at least to Woods, is the easiest box to check.

“Party is something that’s inherent in the game of golf because of the meritocracy of the game. It’s just there; we already have parity. We play each and every week starting at zero,” Woods said Tuesday at the Hero World Challenge, which he hosts. “So with the parity part, it was the easiest part to figure out because it’s already there.

Charlie Woods

“Now, the simplicity part, that’s another part that you didn’t say that we have to try and simplify. Simplify the point structure on the FedExCup so not only the players understand but the fans can understand it, what goes on every week, week to week, how they can follow and how we can make it better.”

And then there’s “scarcity.”

In simplest terms and in this context, scarcity means less will be more for the PGA Tour’s future. In practical terms, that appears to mean a 20-to-30-event schedule with the biggest tournaments played on the best courses with the best fields at the best time of year. This will be done, it goes without saying, well outside the long shadow of professional and semi-professional college football.

“We’ve torn down and looked at so many different models. It’s been a lot. We’ve talked to title sponsors, we talked to CMOs, we talked to tournament directors, we talked to media partners, we’ve talked to a lot of different people and taken a lot in of what they would like to see,” Woods said of the ongoing process to overhaul a product that has stood for decades.

RELATED NEWS : Pressure, Expectations, and a Famous Name – Charlie Woods’

As one Tour official explained, the current overhaul is like trying to build a plane while it’s flying, with countless partners and contracts and constituencies to account for.

Harris English inadvertently made headlines two weeks ago at the RSM Classic when he talked about a schedule, beginning in 2027, that begins after the Super Bowl and is done well before the semi-pros take the field for Week Zero in the fall. That, to some, sounds like the pathway forward, but it ignores how complicated the Tour’s current business model is with countless interested parties.

“We are trying to do that in the best way possible so we can introduce this in ’27. Hopefully we get there, hopefully we get to that point,” Woods said with considerably less bass in his voice.

Tiger Woods

“We’re working with all of our partners to create the best schedule and product to deliver all that in ’27 is something we’re trying to do. I don’t know if we can get there, I don’t know if we will get there, but that’s what we’re trying to do.”

But if Woods’ pleas for patience in what is understandably a wildly complicated process went largely unnoticed, his thoughts on the mutually exclusive notion of “scarcity” and “parity” will be dissected for months by an increasingly uneasy and vocal middle class on Tour.

One unexpected moment between Tiger Woods and his son Charlie just set the internet on fire

As the tech-forward TGL Season 2 kicked off at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens on January 13, 2026, it brought with it a viral moment that reminded fans that even a 15-time Major champion like Tiger Woods is, at his core, just a dad trying to get a laugh out of his teen-age son, Charlie Woods.

While the New York Golf Club eventually secured an 8-3 victory over Tiger’s Jupiter Links that night, the real highlight was not focused on the scoreboard but in the stands.

With the confidence only a father can deliver, Tiger shouted his now-famous catchphrase:

Charlie, embodying a classic teenage behaviour, simply gave his dad a blank stare and a slight nod, offering absolutely nothing but a guilty look in return. The reaction was so perfectly awkward that it sent Tiger into a fit of laughter, with ESPN announcers and fans online quickly joining in.

This cheeky line has become a tradition for the legend, as during TGL’s inaugural season in 2025, he famously yelled the same thing to his mother, Kultida, from the course.

Tiger also had another comedy moment when during a post-game interview with ‘Awful Announcing’, Tiger accidentally referred to his new teammate, rising star Akshay Bhatia, as “ashtray.” He fastly corrected himself and smiled it off with his characteristic humor, one he brought for the entire evening.

A Twist No One Saw Coming “ Tiger Woods’ Latest New Announcement Leaves the Golf World on Edge”

Tiger Woods has taken a major step toward a return to competitive golf after undergoing his seventh back surgery in just over a year. In a strong signal of intent, the 49-year-old icon confirmed he’ll be putting into play the new Bridgestone VS Proto golf ball for the 2026 season

In a recent announcement, Woods stated he’s already seen a “ball speed increase” and described the latest Bridgestone collaboration as part of his comeback strategy.

The new collaboration with Bridgestone comes amid a challenging period for Woods, who has been sidelined since July 2024 and has focused mainly on short-term competitive appearances – particularly in the tech-driven TGL indoor golf league.

His physical condition and injury history have raised doubts about his PGA Tour status in the near term. The decision to push the new ball model publicly is being interpreted by insiders as a precursor to a full return.

Unlike previous recovery periods where Woods opted for discretion, this announcement carries clear markers: a performance-based equipment rollout, visible training footage shared by his team, and language hinting at tournament readiness.

He did not commit to a specific event date, but phrased his words so listeners believe the comeback window now opens in 2026.

Comeback path and strategy

Woods’ first competitive target is believed to be a return in the early-season warm-up events on the PGA Tour, possibly the Hero World Challenge or a limited-field event.

He has reaffirmed his role with Jupiter Links GC in the TGL, suggesting a transition phase that blends competition with strategic recovery.

The Bridgestone deal is viewed as symbolic of this shift – equipment, branding and performance all packaged into one announcement.

While no official tournament entry has been submitted, the ball-speed data and public statements carry weight. For Woods and his team, the goal appears to be clear: test the body, build momentum and return when he’s fully confident.

This latest move represents more than just partnership – it is a visible indicator that his next chapter in professional golf may soon begin.

“Like Father, Like Son! Tiger Woods Bursts with Pride as Charlie Woods Dominates Again in Major Golf Victory

While golf fans were glued to the Ryder Cup drama, Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods was quietly putting on a show of his own — and winning again. 

The 16-year-old prodigy fired a sizzling 68 and led The Benjamin School to team victory at the South Florida PGA Junior Golf West Coast High School Championship at The Club at TwinEagles Talon Course in Naples, Florida.

Charlie came out swinging with eight birdies in his opening round, mixing one bogey and a triple but still carding a brilliant 68 to sit tied for second after day one.

He couldn’t quite repeat that fireworks display in round two, but held his nerve with four birdies and four bogeys to finish at 4-under for the 36-hole tournament, good enough for T4 overall.

Teammate Clint Lewis matched Charlie’s 4-under total, and the pair proved the driving force behind Benjamin School’s narrow four-shot win over Sarasota High School.

Benjamin’s five-man squad — Woods, Lewis, Andrew Tsar (10-over, T30), Drew Sterling (2-over, T13) and Campbell Hogan (14-over, T46) — combined for a team total of 1-over, enough to top a strong 16-team field.

The individual title went to Jack Donovan, who beat Henry Liebwein in a two-hole playoff after both finished on 9-under-par.

Out of 98 starters, 82 players completed the event.

Tiger Woods

This is already Charlie’s second high school team title, adding to his Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Class A State Championship win last November.

Now a junior at The Benjamin School, Charlie continues to rise up the ranks — he’s currently No. 9 in the AJGA national rankings, and his CV reads like that of a seasoned pro.

Charlie captured his first individual AJGA title earlier this season in May with victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational, and he finished a respectable T9 at the Boys Junior PGA two months later.

The South Florida PGA Junior Golf West Coast High School Championship also featured a girls’ event, won individually by Abigail Lee and by Barron Collier in the team competition.

There is anticipation that Charlie and his father Tiger Woods will once again team up in the annual PNC Championship just before Christmas.

Charlie will graduate from The Benjamin School in 2027.

It remains to be seen which college Charlie will choose to represent.

Charlie’s father Tiger attended Stanford University, but initial reports indicate he is unlikely going to follow his father’s footsteps.

One potential option for Charlie could be Florida State, but at this stage it’s unknown.

Charlie Woods is one of the best American junior golfers in 2025.

Tiger Woods’ son is currently ranked ninth in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) rankings in October 2025.

Charlie Woods

Charlie has accumulated an average points of 46.72 points.

But he is some way off the top spot held by Miles Russell, who is also ranked 14th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR).

Russell’s rise in the junior ranks has been so dominant that he has already been invited to compete in four tournaments on the PGA Tour.

But the 16-year-old has missed the cut each time.

Charlie is ranked 905th in the WAGR.

Big Clue Emerges About Tiger Woods’ Comeback Following His Latest Health Setback

Golf fans received a hint at Tiger Woods‘ long-awaited return with an announcement on Monday.

The 15-time major winner stunned the golf world with another health setback in March when he announced that he had ruptured his left Achilles and subsequently underwent surgery.

The latest health update sparked fears for the golf legend’s career on the course, with some even claiming it could spell the end for Woods.

Fans will also want to circle March 1 in their diaries as that is when Woods will face off against his co-founder with McIlroy’s Boston Common takes on Jupiter Links at SoFi Center in Florida.

Meanwhile, TGL’s second season will officially kick off on December 28 when the reigning champions, Atlanta Drive GC, face New York Golf Club in a rematch of last year’s final.

Jupiter Links’ season opener could mark the first time fans will see Woods in action since the team’s final match of TGL’s inaugural season on March 4. Woods and co failed to make it to the indoor golf league’s playoffs.

He could, however, grace the fairways with his presence slightly earlier should he and son Charlie, 16, choose to continue their tradition of competing at the PNC Championship, a family exhibition, in December.

Away from the innovative tech-infused, Woods has not played at Tour-level since The Open Championship in July 2024, with back surgery accounting for much of his lay-off before he withdrew from the Genesis Invitational in February following the death of his mother.

Tiger Woods played with Charlie at the PNC Championship last December, returning from back surgery he underwent last September.

The procedure was his sixth back operation in 10 years. The surgery was formally referred to as ‘microdecompression surgery of the lumbar spine.’

Woods, an 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, suffered extensive injuries from a horror, single-vehicle car crash in 2021 that broke his right leg and ankle and required emergency surgery.

Tiger Woods

He later had another ankle surgery to address lingering issues in 2023, weeks after withdrawing from that year’s edition of The Masters.

Then, earlier this year, Woods was was preparing for his latest comeback at home in Florida when he felt a ‘sharp pain’ in his left heel.

He revealed on social media that he had undergone surgery to repair his Achilles and that he was expected to make a full recovery.

Fans have seen glimpses of Woods in recent months, albeit as a spectator rather than a competitor.

Amid his romance with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., Woods has been spotted supporting his son Charlie, 16, at various junior tournaments, including the US Junior Amateur Championship.

“Tiger’s Legacy Teased Again as Charlie Woods Delivers a Top-10 Finish at Junior PGA — What’s Next?”

Charlie Woods entered the Junior PGA Championship and started slow, just cracking the top 50 on Tuesday at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette.

Woods would prove to doubters, if there were any, that he could hold his own on the big stage just over a week after being cut in the U.S. Amateur Championship in Dallas.

While the final result wasn’t what Woods had desired on Friday, it still sends a message that golf’s famous teenager could play the sport at an elite level.

Woods finished the Junior PGA Championship 9-under-par and tied for ninth after shooting a 74 on Friday afternoon.

His top nine finish gives him an automatic invite to next year’s Junior PGA Tournament at Fields Range in Frisco, Texas.

Woods also has a chance to be a captain’s pick for the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team which will be announced Tuesday.

While Woods wasn’t made available for media post match on Friday, there were plenty of compliments shared in his direction about his game by 2025 Junior PGA Championship winner Lunden Esterline.

“I had fun playing with him and Pennson (Badgett),” Esterline said. “They were both good guys.”

Three bogies and a double bogey on 15 ultimately hampered the 16-year-old from Jupiter, Florida.

His putting didn’t carry the same sharpness on the greens at Ackerman-Allen Course where he’d birdied nine times the day before.

Woods faced an uphill battle entering Friday tied at -12 against Esterline who was -19.

Winning the Junior PGA Championship was feasible for Woods but he needed to replicate his performance from Thursday to catch Esterline.

Woods went bogey free his first eight holes but managed just one birdie before his struggles on 14 and 15.

Even with his late round troubles, Woods proved he is a top tier amateur golfer.

Tiger Woods Looks On as Son Charlie Lights Up the Nicklaus Jr Event

Injuries can derail even the greatest careers, and Tiger Woods knows that better than most. From multiple back surgeries to a near-fatal car crash, the 15-time major champion has battled his body for decades

His latest hurdle came in March 2025, when a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg required surgery, sidelining him from the Masters and once again casting doubt on a comeback.

But while Tiger’s clubs have stayed in the garage, his son Charlie has been lighting up the junior circuit. The 16-year-old won his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, with 15-under par at Streamsong Resort’s Black Course.

Now, he’s competing at the Nicklaus Junior Championship in South Florida, where Tiger made a familiar appearance, supporting his son.

What turned heads this time, though, was how easily Woods appeared to move. Just days before, he was seen walking across sand at the Augusta Municipal short course, currently under development as part of a partnership with Augusta National.

His steady stride fueled speculation about a potential return. “Nice to see Tiger out walking and watching Charlie play” one fan commented on X.

Tiger hasn’t revealed a timeline, but the signs suggest his recovery is moving in the right direction. Amid the Big Cat’s recovery progress, one thing that hasn’t stopped him from making public appearances is Charlie Woods.

Charlie Woods

Tiger’s dedication to Charlie’s golf journey has been unwavering. Last December, he celebrated greenside as Charlie made a hole-in-one at the PNC Championship.

“That was the thrill of a lifetime,” Tiger had said at the time. Earlier this spring, he was spotted attending Charlie’s matches at the BallenIsles Country Club.

As for Charlie’s latest outing, the 16-year-old closed with a 2-under 69 at Tequesta Country Club on Wednesday to finish level par at the Nicklaus Junior Championship.

That earned him a tie for sixth out of 122 players, just four shots behind winner Jeremy Hsu. It capped off a stellar month that also saw him qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur, set for July 21–26 at Trinity Forest in Dallas.

Tiger’s competitive return may remain uncertain, but his sideline presence remains powerful. And with Charlie rising fast, the Woods name still commands attention wherever it shows up on a leaderboard.

“Unbelievable! Tiger Woods Exposed for Having a Ryder Cup Record Far Beyond Anything Fans Thought—And It’s Even Worse”

Tiger Woods’ days of playing at the Ryder Cup are surely over. And looking back at one of the greatest golfers ever, it’s shocking to see how poorly he performed when he suited up for Team USA.

It’s a mixed bag when you really break it down, but it’s not the dominance Woods showed so often on the PGA Tour.

Here’s a look back at how Woods played at the Ryder Cup:

What is Tiger Woods’ Ryder Cup record?

In his Ryder Cup career, Tiger Woods took part in 37 matches. He had 13 wins, 21 losses and 3 ties, for a mark of 13-21-3.

That adds up to 14.5 total points earned by Woods, which ranks fourth on Team USA’s all-time list.

In the eight Ryder Cups that Woods was a part of, Team USA only won one.

There are some key caveats here. Woods was good in singles play but not in the partnership formats.

In foursomes, Woods was 4-9-1.

In four-ball, Woods was 5-10-0.

But when Woods got to singles play, he had four wins, two ties and two losses.

Charlie Woods

Woods played his most partnership matches with Steve Stricker. They were 2-4 together.

With Jim Furyk, Tiger was 2-2.

Woods had a winning mark with Davis Love III (2-1) and with Chris Riley (1-0).

Tiger played twice with Phil Mickelson. They lost both of those matches.

As far as opponents, Woods was crushed by Lee Westwood, who held a 7-1 edge in eight matches against Woods.

Woods had a 3-2 career mark against Padraig Harrington, a 2-1 mark against Ian Poulter and a 2-0 mark against Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Overall, not what you would’ve expected from Tiger Woods.

Congratulation: Tiger Woods Beams with Joy as Daughter Sam Secures High School Soccer Championship Crown

Tiger Woods appears to have passed his sporty gene onto his daughter, Sam. Tiger, 49, was spotted in the crowd on Saturday, Mar. 1, watching his daughter’s soccer team, the Buccaneers, grab victory over Episcopal School in the FHSAA Class 2A state final at Spec Martin Municipal Stadium in DeLand, Florida

Sam, 17, a senior at the Benjamin School, helped her team secure victory, much to her dad’s obvious delight. Per footage shared by the Palm Beach Post, the golfing legend was seen alongside other proud parents in the bleachers wearing a white baseball cap and an FHSAA girls’ soccer state championships T-shirt, cheering while high fiving the teams’ success.

The Buccaneers defense — led by Sam and fellow senior Emily Simon — was key to the team’s championship run success.

Benjamin head coach Hilary Carney said, per the New York Post, “It was really the stalwart defense leading the way with Emily being in goal and Sam being that senior in the back just settling everything.”

Tiger shares Sam and son Charlie with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

Back in 2018, Tiger told Golf.com that though Sam was happy to join him at golfing tournaments, soccer was the firm favorite for her and her brother. “They’re keen into soccer,” he said. “If they want to play golf, that’s great. If they don’t, that’s fine, too. As long as they have a good time playing sports.”

Tiger Woods

He went on to share that he enjoyed playing the team sport with his children and had “a lot of fun” being able to “pass the ball around with them.”

“I get such a big kick out of watching them compete and play,” Tiger said. “It’s so much fun to see how happy and passionate they are about soccer.”

While son Charlie has changed course and is now following in his dad’s footsteps with golf, Sam — who will be following in her father’s footsteps to Stanford University in the fall, per the New York Post — is still committed to soccer.
