Tiger Woods was seen in body camera footage released Thursday by the Martin County (Florida) Sheriff's office talking on the phone as he was approached by police in the wake of a rollover crash that led to his arrest last week. After he got off the phone, he told an officer he was “just talking to the president.” Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI after crawling out of his rolled-over vehicle following a two-vehicle crash on Jupiter Island just after 2 p.m.
ET on March 27. It was not explicitly clear if Woods had just gotten off the phone with President Donald Trump, but Trump did send well wishes in the hours following Woods’ accident.
