Tiger Woods made a direct call to President Donald Trump in the immediate aftermath of his rollover crash, revealing a previously unknown moment before his DUI arrest unfolded.
Bodycam footage has now added fresh detail to the timeline, showing how events developed before officers escalated the situation.
The sequence raises new questions about Woods’ state and decision-making at the scene.
Tiger Woods and Donald Trump call after the crash
Footage obtained by TMZ Sports shows Tiger Woods speaking on the phone shortly after his crash, with the golfer later confirming, “Yeah, I was just talking with the President.”
Woods had flipped his car but was not immediately arrested, instead remaining at the scene while police assessed the situation. Officers allowed him to sit in a cruiser as they began evaluating what had happened.
At one stage, Woods walked away from the vehicle and briefly left the immediate area. Police called him back, and during that moment, he appeared to be finishing the call that he later confirmed was with Trump.
The timeline is significant because it places Woods in contact with the US President before any sobriety testing took place. That interaction adds a new layer to how the incident unfolded in real time.
Donald Trump’s response to Tiger Woods crash
President Donald Trump addressed the situation publicly earlier, saying, “I feel so bad. He’s got some difficulty, there was an accident, and that’s all I know.
“A very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Trump’s comments framed the incident as concerning but limited in detail, reflecting both his personal relationship with Woods and the lack of confirmed information at the time.
The response also underlined how quickly the situation moved from a roadside incident to a national talking point, driven by Woods’ profile and the involvement of the President.
