Tiger Woods Arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in connection with Friday’s rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida. He was released on bail, but several questions remain. News emerged on Sunday that the legendary golfer, who is dating Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law Vanessa, has been “banned” from driving the president’s grandchildren, including Kay.
Tiger Woods ‘banned’ from driving Trump’s grandson
Amid reports about Woods’ relationship with Vanessa, new details have emerged about security protocols involving Donald Trump’s grandchildren. The New York Post cited sources as saying that it was usually the Secret Service agent, not Wood, who drove the children whenever golfers were present.
This is nothing new. That agreement was in place before Woods was arrested Friday on a DUI charge. Agents “certainly would not have let Woods drive, even without a DUI,” the report said.
Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. share five children, including Kay, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, who are all protected by the Secret Service. Barron Trump, 20, is the youngest son of the president and first lady Melania Trump.
Vanessa Trump is not happy with tigers
Meanwhile, Woods’ relationship with Vanessa has reportedly been strained since his arrest. There are reports that Vanessa is “not happy” with her boyfriend.
“She’s not happy at all,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She was disappointed and a little angry, to be honest. It was definitely a red flag and she told him he was going to fix it and she was going to ask for it. He had to get things under control or she wouldn’t stay.”

“This was a concerned girlfriend who expressed boundaries and said he had to snap out of it, as he was now. From what I understand, he was very sorry. [He] Want to solve this problem. “
Tiger Woods accident details
The incident occurred at around 2 p.m. ET on Jupiter Island. According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Woods attempted to pass a truck that had a high-pressure cleaner on a trailer. His Land Rover collided with the trailer before flipping onto its side and continuing down the road. Woods and the driver of the truck both escaped uninjured.
“It could be worse,” John Budencik said.
Indications of impairment and test results
Police responded and said Woods showed signs of injury at the scene. A breathalyzer test ruled out alcohol, but investigators suspect another substance may have been involved.
“They thought it was some kind of drug or drug,” Budencik said of investigators. “… They did a couple of tests on him. Of course, he did explain his injury and the surgery. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside testing.”
Woods refused to submit to a urine test, leading to additional charges.
“He was cooperative, but he didn’t want to incriminate himself, so he was careful about what he said and what he didn’t say.”
Following the incident, Woods was taken into custody and booked into the Stewart County Jail in Florida around 3 p.m. ET. He was charged with DUI, property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test.
He was later released on bail after completing a mandatory eight-hour detention period.
This is not the first time Tiger Woods has been arrested for driving under the influence. In 2017, he was arrested for drunken driving on Jupiter Island and later pleaded guilty to reckless driving and received probation, a fine and community service.
In 2021, he was also involved in a serious bicycle accident in California, which caused him to suffer multiple leg fractures. This accident seriously affected his career.
The future of the course is uncertain
The 15-time major champion is not expected to play in next month’s Masters, although he has reportedly signed up to play in the U.S. Senior Open.
Woods, 50, also hinted at a transition to the Champions Tour as he deals with ongoing physical challenges following multiple surgeries.
“I’m working on it. Put it that way,” Woods said when asked about competing again at last month’s Genesis Invitational near Los Angeles. “A disc replacement is one thing…I already had a fused back and now a disc replacement, so it’s been a challenge.
“Now, I’m entering a new decade, so the numbers are starting to sink in and let’s think about the opportunity to be able to compete in carts. Like I said, that’s something I wouldn’t do on the (PGA Tour) because I don’t believe in it. But on the Champions Tour, it’s certainly (an) opportunity.”
