During a news conference on April 9, 2026, Gary Player, a three-time Masters winner, offered advice to Tiger Woods following his recent DUI arrest. Player, who sympathizes with Woods' struggles due to injuries and surgeries, suggested that Woods should stop driving and hire a chauffeur instead. Woods, 50, was involved in a car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, where officers discovered two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. He has pleaded not guilty to DUI with property damage, having blown a 0.00 on alcohol breath tests but declined a urinalysis, which led to additional legal complications. Player emphasized the importance of safety when taking prescription medications, stating, "When you're taking that medicine, it's dangerous when you're driving a car." He hopes Woods can resolve his issues, recognizing his significant contributions to the sport of golf.
