New revelations have surfaced following Tiger Woods’ recent car crash, where he reportedly declined to hire a personal driver due to privacy concerns. The incident occurred on Saturday (AEDT) when Woods’ Land Rover overturned in a collision with another vehicle. Although the 50-year-old golf champion tested 0.00 for blood alcohol, he may still face charges connected to property damage and noncompliance with further testing. This marks the fourth time Woods has been involved in a vehicular accident.
In the aftermath of the crash, scrutiny of Woods’ driving history has intensified. A source close to Woods revealed that he prefers to drive himself, believing he is capable behind the wheel and resisting any surveillance of his activities. Concerns about Woods’ driving habits have also reached friends in high places; reports indicate that former US President Donald Trump has a strict rule against his family riding in a car driven by Woods, citing safety risks regarding alcohol and drugs.
Currently, Woods is in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., who shares five children with him. Trump Jr.’s father has been reported to have strong reservations about Woods’ driving, stating, “It’s not happening” for his grandchildren to be in the car with him.
Woods’ teammate in the TGL, Kevin Kisner, expressed his disappointment about the incident, noting that Woods had been diligently working on his game in preparation for the upcoming Masters. Kisner remarked that it is fortunate no one was injured and hoped for Woods’ recovery and improvement moving forward.
Despite being a highly respected figure in the golfing community, Woods has faced criticism for the repeated incidents involving his driving. Some commentators in the golf media have been accused of overlooking Woods’ troubles, contributing to a culture that has failed to hold him accountable for his actions.
As of now, Woods has yet to make a public statement regarding the accident, leaving many to wonder about the future and implications of his driving choices. The golfing world remains concerned for Woods while anticipating his next steps in the wake of the latest incident.
