Tiger Woods is raising concerns about his inner circle after his latest DUI arrest
Others close to Tiger Woods described him as “frustrated and depressed about his health” after his recent DUI arrest in a crash that occurred Friday in Florida, according to People.
The 50-year-old golfer returned to play in last week’s TGL final after a series of injuries ruled him out from 2024.
He had lumbar disk replacement surgery in October and surgery on a ruptured left Achilles last March.
“He’s empowered by people who are making money off his talent and reputation, but with his injuries and his age, he’s frustrated and depressed about his health,” another source said of Woods.
“He wants to play in the big tournaments like the Masters, but he has to do something real. Once he does that, he has to be better because people like Tiger. He’s a good person.”
The same source for Woods expressed concern about his behavior, especially his relationship with girlfriend Vanessa Trump.
“They are passionate lovers, they are determined,” said a source about them who have been dating for a year.
“But Tiger still has to look in the mirror and say, ‘You’re 50 years old and you need to act like one.'”
Woods “never understood” the death of his father Earl, who died of prostate cancer in 2006, the source said.
A tiger needs to understand its limitations and prepare for them. His peace of mind is disturbed by golf and its pain.”
Woods was arrested and charged with DUI with damage to property, and refusing to submit to a legal sobriety test, after Friday’s crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., where he lives.
Friday’s incident involved Woods’ Land Rover and a pressure-cleaning truck pulling a minivan, Martin County Sheriff John M. Budensiek said at a news conference.
The police chief explained that Woods “showed signs of paralysis.” However, authorities “did not suspect alcohol was involved in the case and that proved to be true at the jail,” where he blew “three zeros” on a breathalyzer test.
The 15-time major leaguer was arrested and released from jail on the same day.
Woods’ eyes appeared bloodshot in his photo.
His DUI arrest came after his February 2021 car accident that nearly took his right leg.
During that time, Woods underwent multiple surgeries for injuries to his lower right leg sustained in a single-car accident in California – and spent three weeks in hospital as he faced the possibility of having his leg amputated.
