Tiger Woods is still dealing with the fallout of his latest DUI arrest. More information has since come out about the pills he had in his possession, and President Donald Trump even took time out of his busy war negotiations to talk about the golfer’s “life of pain.” But all of this feels like it could have been easily solved with Woods getting a driver — something he is adamantly against. A quick Google search reveals that Woods has a net worth of about $1.5 billion. People in that stratosphere tend to do very little by themselves. Security, food, driving — these are all things they usually have staff to handle. Especially considering Woods is currently in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, and her children are under Secret Service protection. The Secret Service reportedly had already assessed Woods and found that he was “unfit” to drive the president’s grandchildren. With all this information stacked against him, he still insists on driving himself because, according to People’s sources, he “doesn’t want anyone to watch over him or know what he is doing. And he thinks he is fine to drive.” On X, as you’d imagine, this garnered a lot of reactions, but perhaps the most common one came from a user who asked, “How bad are the things he does in private that he would rather risk a public arrest every few years???” And in all fairness, Woods has had quite an active personal life over the years, with multiple cheating scandals, so you can understand why someone like that wouldn’t want their life being discussed on podcasts or on TMZ live shows. How bad are the things he does in private that he would rather risk a public arrest every few years??? https://t.co/gSO4dq8u7z— B N S L (@_BNSL) March 30, 2026 A lot of political reporters in D.C. have been noting how surprisingly open Trump has been to taking calls from reporters, so the New York Post decided to give it a shot and see if he would also contribute as a source in this celebrity story. During a complex war, Trump somehow answered the call about Woods’ DUI and said, “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. He lives a life of pain.” The president continued, “He has a lot of pain. He’s an amazing guy. He’s an amazing athlete. He does have pain. He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.” Woods was crafting his comeback and was expected to be part of the line-up at the upcoming Masters on Apr. 9. But this setback will probably take him all the way back to step zero. He notably refused to have his urine tested, which is his legal right — something he would know, because this is not the first time he’s dealt with a DUI, unlike Justin Timberlake. With athletes, especially those coming back from injury, there will always be concern about what drugs they’re on. Woods was reportedly found with hydrocodone — an opioid medication used to treat severe pain — in his pockets. It was prescribed, though. Still, Woods should get a driver. Maybe an NDA too.
