Donald Trump seems very much in Tiger Woods‘ corner!
The POTUS insists that the professional golfer is sober despite speculations of DUI surrounding his recent accident, and reiterates his support for him as he battles pain from past injuries.
President Donald Trump’s fondness for Tiger Woods came about following his relationship with his former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, which is likely heading towards the aisle.
Donald Trump Gave An Encouraging Update On Tiger Woods’ Situation
The politician, after he was briefed about Woods’ situation, stressed that the golfer is doing well after his arrest last Friday, March 27, 2026, and he lives a life of pain these days since his multiple injuries. Trump noted that things had been looking upbeat following their conversation right after the accident, but he is doing great.
“He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg,” the politician stated. Trump explained that the athlete lives a life of pain, even though he is an amazing athlete who has conquered golfing territories and won trophies.
As shared by TMZ, the president clarified to anyone who cared to listen that his former daughter-in-law’s boyfriend does not have a drinking problem, but the pain is not exactly going away. Woods had informed cops that he had taken a few medications due to pain from having seven back surgeries and 20 procedures on his legs.
Inside The Signs Deputies Saw During The Golf Champion’s Arrest
The agents at the site of Woods’ rolled-over vehicle stated in their reports that they found two loose hydrocodone pills in his pocket during the arrest. He also appeared very sluggish during questioning, belting out heaps of sweat and showing several signs of impairment.
The deputy also noticed Woods’ bloodshot eyes as soon as he pulled off his glasses, and his pupils were extremely dilated, all while appearing very alert during the investigations.
Woods has a court appearance slated for later in April, but in the field during the sobriety tests, he refused to provide a urine sample, although he blew into a breathalyzer and the points came back 0.00. The professional golfer was eventually booked for driving under the influence, with property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test from the authorities.
Donald Trump Supports Tiger Woods, But Has Reportedly Drawn A Line
The president’s current statement comes on the heels of reports that when he heard about the accident, he swung into action and made a golden rule for his grandkids. Vanessa, while being married to Donald Trump Jr., welcomed five children together, and they reportedly spend tons of time with the athlete.
As noted by The Blast, Trump was reportedly concerned about their safety and thus banned them from riding in any vehicle with Woods, especially when he is behind the wheel. He is also not a fan of hard drugs, alcohol, and other substances, especially when his family is involved. An insider added that the politician would feel safer with anyone driving the car other than Woods because there is too much risk in that combination.
Vanessa and Woods reportedly began their relationship around November 2024, just before Thanksgiving, after bonding over their children, who attend the same school. The duo was then spotted together publicly in February 2025 in Florida before going Instagram official the following month.
Vanessa Trump Reportedly Took A Drastic Step After The Car Crash
The president’s son is allegedly super chill about the whole situation and did not share any concerns about his kids hanging around Woods all the time, as he did not see any red flags. The Blast shared that sources close to him also claim that he was more focused on the fact that no one got hurt during the incident.
However, initial reports claimed that Donald Jr. was furious and would prioritize keeping boundaries because the incident kind of confirmed everyone’s past thoughts on Woods. As for Vanessa, sources shared that her relationship with the golfer is hanging by a slim thread.
The mother of five was reportedly taking a break from the athlete because the car crash served as a wake-up call, and she is not about to be caught in a messy situation once again. Vanessa’s priority will always be her children, and she has quietly chosen to take a step back and choose a different path with her relationship.
Tiger Woods Is Not All About Having The Public In His Business
The 50-year-old, despite getting involved in two automobile accidents within the last five years, has refused to hire a driver to help him move around. His reasons are not far-fetched; he is very heavy on his privacy and has been that way for years.
Woods reportedly believes he is very fit to drive himself and will rather spend his time playing games with the kids at home than be out and about with cameras flashing around him. Since the accident, some of his pals have given great reviews about his personality and work ethic, like Kevin Kisner, Woods’ teammate in the Jupiter Links Golf Club of the TG, who declared:
“He signed up for the U.S. Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do anything he could to come back and try and help our TGL team get ready, hopefully try and play the masters.” Mark Lye and Paul McGinley, who are all his colleagues, also spoke up after the accident, expressing empathy while stressing the need for the athlete to really look after himself and bounce back into great shape.
