Former college football star Johnny Manziel was among those in the sports world who responded Friday to Tiger Woods’ crash in Florida, which led to a drunken driving charge.
Manziel, who previously struggled with his own relationship with drugs and alcohol, wrote on social media that the golf legend needed to learn more about Waymo.

“Someone tell Tiger about Waymo, it’s crazy,” the former Texas A&M Aggies quarterback wrote on X. “I hope he’s okay.”
The photos showed Woods’ SUV on its side with the golfer standing on the grass talking on the phone. No one was injured in the crash, but Woods is facing some consequences.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed during a news conference that Woods was driving at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing his vehicle to flip onto the driver’s side.
Authorities said Woods “is an example of signs of impairment.” He blew “triple zeros” for alcohol but refused to take a urine test.

“DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods showed signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course, he explained the injuries and surgeries he had. We took that into account, but they did extensive road tests,” Budensiek added.
“We really didn’t suspect that alcohol was involved in this case, and that proved true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to request a urinalysis, he refused. And so he was charged with driving while intoxicated, criminal damage to property, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
