Body camera footage obtained by PK Press Club Digital showed Tiger Woods looking sleepy, sweaty and just plain out of it when he was arrested for drunk driving last Friday.
Woods crashed into another vehicle, causing his 2025 Range Rover to turn to the driver’s side. About two hours after escaping through the passenger side door with help, he was placed in the back of a police car.
This was not the first time Woods was taken into custody for driving under the influence, also in 2017.

Unfortunately for Woods, the back of a police car was unfamiliar territory, and moments after being placed in the car, he simply uttered three words.
“It’s fun,” he said to himself groggily and sarcastically.
Woods was placed in the vehicle after failing a field sobriety test, taken after showing “signs of impairment” and being “lethargic.” He had “triple zeros” on a breathalyzer test, but after failing to submit to a urine test, he was hit with another charge. Officers found two pills that were later identified as hydrocodone, a prescription opioid used for pain relief.
Woods previously told law enforcement before field sobriety tests that he had seven back surgeries and “over 20 leg surgeries.” He told law enforcement that “I take a few” prescription medications. In 2021, he had an accident that left him with serious leg injuries that kept him from playing golf for the entire year.

President Donald Trump said the five-time Masters champion “lives a life of pain.” Woods is dating Trump’s granddaughter Kai’s mother, Vanessa. Vanessa is the ex-wife of Donald Jr.
“He lives a life of pain. He’s in a lot of pain. He’s an incredible guy. He’s an incredible athlete. He’s in pain,” Trump added Tuesday of Woods. “He doesn’t have a drinking problem, but he’s in pain,” Trump said.
Woods told officers he “hoped” to play at the Masters, but in a statement earlier this week, Woods said he would pause his quest to return to the golf course to “get treatment.”
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am taking some time off to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward a lasting recovery,” Woods said. in a statement Tuesday published on social networks.
