On March 27, 2026, Tiger Woods was driving at high speed along a beachside road on Jupiter Island well above the strict 30 mph speed limit. That’s when he clips a truck trailer and causes $5,000 in property damage. When officers comes over he has a simple explanation: he was looking down at his phone to change the radio station, and that distracted him. He even admitted that that he had take his pain medication in the morning, Vicodin. But turns out, there is more to the story, and that something is simply what we can box as, “bizarre.”

As revealed by The Guardian, that he was distracted not just by his phone but by “all the drones” that were flying over his home. He claimed that there were “10 to 15 drones coming over my car,” some with GoPros equipped on them. Then he dropped the “president” name in the equation.

Woods made a sudden name-drop about how he was just speaking to the “president.” Now the documents don’t specify who that president is. However, Donald Trump later confirmed that he had spoken to Woods that day. That the golfer “lives a life of pain” but was “doing great.” And the connection even makes sense, given they have a personal link.

So, Woods has reportedly been in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, Trump’s former daughter-in-law, for over a year. Woods meanwhile has pleaded not guilty. And the breathlyser test he took that day did show a 0.00. But the prosecutors have something else to latch on.

Now according to the sheriff report, deputies did find two pain pills in his pocket and did observe signs of impairment at the scene. He also refused to take a urine test. And this information carries weight when you see at Tiger Wood’s past.

Tiger Woods has been involved in high-profile car incidents in the past. This includes a 2017 DUI arrest linked to prescription medication use and a life-threatening 2021 crash in LA. Against that backdrop, prosecutors are said to be looking more closely, and they plan to use Woods’ statements, body cam footage, and the officer testimony as part of their case. Already a war is raging in the courtroom.

Woods’ attorney is pushing back against prosecutors’ attempt to subpoena his prescription record following the DUI charge. In a court filing in Martin County, Duncan argued that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy regarding his medications. He even requested a hearing to determine whether those records are relevant to the case.

Now Woods was released on bail within hours of the crash and then even requested that he would need rehabilitation. Soon, he left the United States. Interestingly, the Big Cat to take the necessary steps to recover.

In their statement, Woods’ attorney, , “Based upon the Defendant’s treating physician, the out-of-country treatment facility recommendation is based upon the Defendant’s complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States, as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised.”

He added, “Ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment.”

That said, the DUI incident has left several influential individuals in the golf community frustrated. And they have revealed their lack of faith in Woods.

Many have lost faith in Tiger Woods after the DUI incident

Before the DUI incident, Tiger Woods was lined up for a possible return to the golf course. Many were hoping that he would play the 2026 Masters Tournament. However, their hopes were crushed once reports of the incident made the headlines.

One of his biggest admirers, Brandel Chamblee, told Indo Sport Golf, “I think the attention has been on getting back to normal, personally and professionally. Professionally, there’s nothing left for him to do in the game of golf.”

Jason Day also told the reporters, “The only thing I don’t understand is that it’s a little selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm’s way as well. He was my hero—he’s my hero. He was my hero growing up. It’s hard to see him go through what he’s going through, and especially under the microscope, so it must be hard to be who he is and have everyone look kind of down on him.”

These are just some of the names who have spoken up against Woods for his actions. There are a few more who have had something similar to say. But the Big Cat has also received some support from the community that hopes for his quick recovery.
