TIGER WOODS DROPS BOMBSHELL AFTER CRASH: “YEAH, I WAS JUST TALKING TO THE PRESIDENT”
Fresh bodycam footage from Tiger Woods’ Florida SUV rollover shows the golf legend casually telling a deputy he had just been on the phone with President Trump moments after flipping his vehicle.
In the TMZ-released video, a Martin County sheriff’s deputy approaches Woods near the overturned SUV and instructs him to stay put. Woods, still holding his phone, replies plainly: “Yeah, I was just talking to the President.”
He is then heard wrapping up the call, saying “Thank you so much” before hanging up. The actual conversation with Trump is not captured on audio, but Woods makes the comment clear to the officer on scene.
Woods later explained the crash to deputies: “I looked down at my phone and all of a sudden, boom.” No one was injured in the wreck.
Officers noted signs of impairment during field sobriety tests. Woods tested negative for alcohol but had opioid pain pills, including Norco (hydrocodone), in his pocket. When asked about medications, he admitted, “I take a few.”
During the arrest, Deputy Tatiana Levenar told him: “I do believe your normal faculties are impaired… so at this time you’re under arrest for DUI.”
A stunned Woods responded: “I’m being arrested?”
Woods has pleaded not guilty and announced he is stepping away from golf to focus on treatment and his health, citing ongoing battles with chronic pain from past back and leg injuries.
President Trump, a longtime friend of Woods, confirmed they spoke after the crash and expressed sympathy, noting the golfer “lives a life of pain” but is doing well.
