President Donald Trump recently offered his support for golf superstar Tiger Woods following the athlete's recent DUI arrest in Florida after a rollover incident. Speaking in an exclusive interview with the New York Post on Tuesday, Trump stated that the five-time Masters champion essentially "lives a life of pain."

Trump's Support and Assessment of Woods' Condition

The President confirmed he had spoken with Woods after the Friday afternoon arrest in Jupiter Island. Trump noted that Woods tested negative for alcohol, emphasizing the physical toll the athlete endures.

"He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg," Trump told the publication.

Acknowledging Athlete's Struggles

Trump reiterated his belief regarding Woods' ongoing physical challenges. "He lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He’s an amazing guy. He’s an amazing athlete. He does have pain," the President added.

Crucially, Trump distinguished the situation from substance abuse, stating, "He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain."

Details from the Arrest Affidavit

An arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital on Tuesday detailed observations made by Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputies at the scene. Officers reported seeing several indicators of impairment, noting Woods was "sweating profusely" and his movements appeared "lethargic and slow."

Discovery of Prescription Medication

Following a series of field sobriety tests, Woods was placed under arrest. A subsequent search conducted by law enforcement uncovered "two white pills inside Woods’ left side pant pocket," according to the affidavit.

These pills were later identified as hydrocodone, which is a prescription opioid used for pain management. Woods had previously informed law enforcement that he takes "a few" prescription medications.

Woods' Extensive Medical History and Related Charges

Prior to the sobriety tests, Woods disclosed to officers that he has undergone seven back surgeries and "over 20 operations on his leg." At the jail facility, Woods took a breathalyzer test, yielding 0.00 results on both samples provided.

However, Woods declined to submit to a urine test, which resulted in an additional charge being filed against him.

Connection to the Trump Family

The article notes that Tiger Woods is currently in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, who is President Trump's former daughter-in-law. Vanessa Trump and her daughter, Kai Trump, were recently seen supporting Woods at The Golf League championship last week.
