Tiger Woods' teammate and close friend breaks silence on golf legend's 'very disturbing' DUI arrest
Share this @internewscast.com

Tiger Woods’ recent arrest for driving under the influence has been labeled “very disturbing” by his TGL teammate, Kevin Kisner.

The 50-year-old golf icon was taken into custody in Florida on Friday after a high-speed attempt to overtake a truck and trailer on a residential road in Jupiter Island. This reckless move resulted in his SUV clipping the back of the truck and flipping onto its side.

Fortunately, Woods emerged from the incident without any injuries, and no one else was hurt. However, he faced charges for DUI, property damage, and refusing to provide a urine sample to the police during the investigation.

Kisner, who plays alongside Woods on the Jupiter Links team in the TGL and also works as a color analyst for PGA Tour broadcasts, commented on the troubling situation involving his close friend.

The 42-year-old golfer expressed his concerns about Woods as he continues his efforts to make a comeback in the sport.

While speaking with Dan Hicks and former PGA Tour player Brad Faxon in the commentary booth at Memorial Park, Kisner described Woods’ arrest as “very disturbing.”

‘He was really working hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape. He signed up for the U.S. Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do anything he could to come back and try and help our TGL team, get ready, hopefully try and play the Masters.

‘It’s just a really unfortunate incident, I guess, Brad, the only positive is that is nobody was injured in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.’

Kisner played alongside Woods just three days before the accident when Jupiter Links competed in the TGL finals on Tuesday. 

It marked Woods’ first competitive action since he underwent the seventh back surgery of his career back in October. 

It also signalled that the golf icon could be nearing a return to the course amid speculation of a comeback at The Masters next month. However, amid the fallout of Friday’s arrest, that now feels further away than ever.

Woods was involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, which shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle. He needed multiple surgeries in order to recover from his injuries.

He was also previously pictured in a police mugshot in 2017 after being arrested for his first DUI, when police found him slumped in his car in Florida with five drugs in his system, including two painkillers.

Cops released his latest remarkable mugshot to the public shortly after 10pm on Friday, with his eyes puffy and bloodshot in the image. An hour later, he was bonded out and driven away from Martin County Public Safety Complex, as fans and reporters swarmed the car for a glimpse of him. 

In photos taken by a Daily Mail photographer, he can be seen looking stony-faced with his lips pursed, before momentarily glancing out of the passenger side window at the gathered masses before disappearing into the night.

At the scene of the accident, Woods passed a breathalyzer test after showing ‘triple zeros’, but then refused to give a urine sample twice, once on the roadside and then again at the jail.

‘He is cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself, so he was careful in what he said and didn’t say,’ Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek explained. ‘When it came time again for the test, the urine test at the jail, he stopped that.

‘On scene, we had [Drug Recognition] experts evaluating him and they believed from on scene that he was not impaired with alcohol, but they believe it was some type of medication or drug. And again, at the jail he cooperated with the breathalyzer, and then the urine [test] he wanted no part in.

‘He has a right to refuse that test. There is a statute that he will be charged with for refusing to take that test, but we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash.’
