Trump expresses support for Tiger Woods following license suspension

President Donald Trump expressed support for Tiger Woods on September 2, 2026, after Woods had his driver’s license suspended. The suspension was part of a no-contest plea deal related to a DUI-involved crash earlier in the year, which resulted in reduced charges for Woods. Trump stated, "I think he’s going to have somebody drive him. I told him that a long time ago. Why don’t you get somebody to drive you? So he’s going to have somebody drive him from now on." He described Woods as a "very special guy" and expressed relief that the situation was resolved. Trump, who is a friend of Woods and an avid golfer, acknowledged Woods's use of prescription painkillers due to his history of injuries. He referred to the plea agreement as "very fair" and commented on the challenges of taking painkillers while dealing with legal issues.
