Tiger Woods is not getting a good driving review amid his DUI charge.
A personality from the former golf champion’s past has shared facts about his driving habits, which may have contributed to the rollover car crash he was involved in on March 27, 2026, in Florida.
Tiger Woods’ latest automobile mishap has now triggered concerns from his girlfriend’s former father-in-law, Donald Trump, who has reportedly banned his grandkids from accompanying him in any car he is driving.
Tiger Woods Called ‘A Terrible Driver‘
The golfer’s former worker, who preferred to remain unnamed, described him as a very disorganized driver who is just terrible behind the wheel. In the employee’s words, “The guy is a terrible driver. He drives like a bat out of hell very often on a road where lawn services are parked with heavy equipment.”
Wood’s former worker continued to The Daily Mail that they had been with him while driving in the past, going at a speed limit of 55 or 60mph, and even refusing to slow down for cops in the process. The former world champion’s March 27 car crash reportedly occurred on a road with a speed limit of 30mph.
The golfer was reported to have tried to overtake a truck that was pulling a pressure-washer device. Following the accident, Woods was arrested around 3 p.m. on Friday and was locked up for at least eight hours in line with the state-mandated minimum for DUI arrests before being released later in the night.
The Sports Personality Reportedly Refused A Urine Test
Following Woods’ accident, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office was alerted, and they confirmed that he had been taken into custody in a press conference, which was held three hours after the accident. The press conference confirmed that Woods was charged with driving under the influence and property damage.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek alerted the public that upon his arrest, he refused to present his urine for testing. However, he blew triple zeros on a breathalyzer test, which meant he did not consume any alcohol before getting behind the wheel. Neither drugs nor alcohol was found in the vehicle. While the conversation concluded on alcohol not being the reason for his driving mishap, authorities are leaning towards a medication or another substance being the leading cause.
According to Budensiek, Woods appeared rather sluggish and exhibited signs of impairment during their encounter, but refusing the test would come at a cost for him in that he would be charged with statute. However, a source close to the athlete claimed that the reason why he refused to take the urine test was that he had taken heavy doses of prescription opioids due to his repeated injuries. The insider reiterated that Woods was never the type to indulge in illegal drugs.
Tiger Woods’ 2021 Car Crash Took Him Out Of The Game For Months
This is not Woods’ first rodeo with automobile crashes, as he was involved in a severe single-vehicle rollover accident in California as he drove his 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV on February 23, 2021. Woods had to undergo several surgeries for significant orthopedic injuries sustained during the accident, including his shattered tibia and fibula breaking through his skin.
The Blast shared that he went in for another round of follow-up surgery in 2023, spending several months recovering from the procedure. Woods had revealed in an interview that the accident, which almost led to the loss of his right leg, that he suffered a case of amnesia right after and had told first responders that he had no memory of driving before the crash.
Investigators had to conduct a search through the vehicle’s black box for details about the vehicle’s speed minutes before the crash, and also eliminate any possibility of foul play due to Woods being allegedly sober while driving.
The Golf Champion’s Recent Accident Sparked Concerns In The First Family
Woods’ connection to the White House stemmed from his relationship with Vanessa Trump, who is the mother to some of the president’s grandchildren. The Blast stated that since the accident, the politician has laid a ground rule for his grandkids who spend a ton of time with the golf champion.
According to sources, he reportedly banned the kids from riding in any vehicle driven by Woods out of concern for their safety and well-being, especially after the cops arrested him due to his showing signs of impairment. The president could not be bothered about his ex-daughter-in-law and Woods’ romance, but at the same time, he has concerns about his past with addiction, which is a red flag for him when it comes to family.
As a matter of fact, the president reportedly feels his grandbabies would be safer with Britney Spears behind the wheel than the pro golfer. Vanessa and her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr., share five children during the course of their marriage.

Trump has publicly expressed his satisfaction with their love story, stating that they are both great people and he wants them to be happy.
