During a massive ‘No Kings’ protest against President Trump this weekend, one demonstrator targeted golf legend Tiger Woods with a harsh joke following his recent DUI arrest and car crash in Florida.
Massive Nationwide Protests
Organizers report that at least 8 million people participated in over 3,300 events across all 50 states, protesting what they describe as the president’s authoritarian governance, strict immigration measures, and ongoing conflict with Iran. Crowds filled streets from major cities to small towns, though U.S. authorities have not released an official national crowd estimate.
The Florida Crash and Arrest
On Friday afternoon, the 50-year-old Woods collided with a truck and trailer, causing his SUV to flip onto its side. He climbed out through the passenger window but refused a urine sample, leading to his arrest on charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Police released his mugshot after the incident.
Protester’s Crude Sign
Amid the rallies, one protester held a sign reading: ‘Tiger Woods for Trump’s chauffeur,’ mocking Woods’ troubles in light of his ties to the Trump family.
Connection to the Trump Family
Recent reports indicate Secret Service agents have barred Woods from driving President Trump’s grandchildren, even prior to this DUI. Woods has dated Vanessa Trump, the president’s former daughter-in-law and mother to five of his grandchildren, for over a year since around Thanksgiving 2024. The couple’s children include aspiring golfer Kai Trump, 18, along with Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11. Federal agents provide round-the-clock protection to the president’s immediate family through his second term, set to end in 2029.
President Trump, who presented Woods with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019, commented: “I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man. But some difficulty.”
Past Driving Incidents
This marks Woods’ latest issue behind the wheel. In 2017, authorities arrested him for DUI in Florida after finding him slumped in his car with five drugs in his system, including painkillers. Another crash in 2021 in California severely injured his right leg, requiring multiple surgeries after he became trapped under the vehicle.
Vanessa Trump’s Reaction
Sources confirm Vanessa Trump waited for Woods after his eight-hour detention at the Martin County Public Safety Complex. He returned home around 11 p.m. amid paparazzi flashes. A source close to the couple stated: “She’s not happy at all. She’s both disappointed and a little bit p***ed, if I’m being honest. It’s a definite red flag and she told him that he’s going to get this sorted out, and that she’s going to require that. He has to get things under control, or she’s not going to stick around.” Neither Vanessa nor Kai accompanied Woods during the crash.
