Tiger Woods called President Donald Trump from the scene of his rollover car crash moments before he was arrested with a DUI, a new video shows.
Woods was charged with driving under the influence after crashing his Range Rover last Friday in an accident in Jupiter, Florida. The golf legend was reportedly carrying two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and appeared to have “glassy eyes” when he was arrested after allegedly refusing a DUI check at the scene.
In police bodycam footage, Woods can be heard telling police he was looking at his phone before the crash. But new footage obtained by TMZ adds further detail to the incident. A cop wearing the bodycam in the new footage can be heard calling to Woods, asking him to return to the area with law enforcement.
“Mr. Woods,” the cop called repeatedly as Woods appeared walking down the road towards the officer. “We need you to hang out down here with us, please.”
Woods can be heard speaking on the phone for a moment before hanging up.
“Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye,” said Woods, before asking the officer to repeat himself. “Say again?”
After the officer repeated his request, Woods promptly told him he had been speaking with Trump.
“Yeah, I was just talking with the president,” he said.
Woods then claims Trump was “very apologetic for what he did last night.” He then takes a case out of his pocket and attempts to put something in his mouth before being asked not to do so by an officer.
No further details are provided as to the context of Woods “apologetic” remark about Trump, though TMZ noted it may have been in relation to the president’s appearance on Fox’s The Five the night before the crash, where he claimed Woods would not compete in the Masters – a decision Woods had not made publicly.
The president expressed sympathy for Woods in a Tuesday phone interview with The New York Post, claiming that the golf star “lives a life of pain.” The Post also released a separate report, alleging that Woods, who is dating Vanessa Trump, was forbidden from driving Trump’s grandchildren.
