Legendary golfer Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). The incident took place last Friday on Jupiter Island, when the 50-year-old athlete's SUV clipped a truck at high speed and rolled onto its side. U.S. President Donald Trump didn't stay on the sidelines.
Details: According to The Mirror, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly stood by his longtime friend, revealing some insights from their private conversations.
“I feel terrible about this situation. He's going through a tough time right now. There was an accident, and that's all I know,” Trump told reporters in Miami.
He called Woods an amazing person and a very close friend, emphasizing his readiness to support him despite the seriousness of the charges.
It's worth noting that Tiger Woods has recently been in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of the ex-president, making their connection almost familial.
