Tiger Woods was found to be under the influence of prescription painkillers, according to an arrest affidavit obtained today by Fox News Digital. Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash in the early morning hours of May 18th in Martin County, Florida, and was taken into custody. According to the affidavit, police found two pills inside of Woods' left side pant pocket, later identified as hydrocodone.
00:00:20.060Deputies with the Martin County, Florida Sheriff's Office reported observing several signs of impairment at the crash scene involving Tiger Woods,
00:00:27.280noting that the golf legend was, quote, sweating profusely and that his movements
00:00:31.360appeared lethargic and slow. Again, that according to an arrest affidavit obtained today by Fox News
00:00:36.720Digital. Law enforcement also found two white pills inside of Woods' left side pant pocket,
00:00:43.420later identified as hydrocodone, which, as you may know, is a prescription opioid for pain relief.
00:00:50.480In the meantime, Woods' good friend, President Trump, continues to show his support for the
00:00:54.180five-time master's champ. The two men spoke Friday after the crash. The president telling
00:00:58.840the New York Post that Tiger lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He's an amazing guy,
00:01:04.860an amazing athlete. He does have pain. Woods, for his part, told law enforcement prior to the field
00:01:10.860sobriety test that he'd undergone seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his legs,
00:01:16.000adding that, yes, I take a few prescription medications. As for what happens next.
00:01:21.160i think probably they're going to work out some sort of disposition that does when you see that
00:01:28.500you hate here you hate seeing this happen to him yeah i don't know if you've ever seen the
00:01:32.380documentary they did the three-part documentary on him or two-part documentary on him the guy's
00:01:36.640story is a fascinating story is this him afterwards rob or this is uh literally four days before the
00:01:42.400accident where he talks about wanting to get back to playing yeah he wanted to get into the masters
00:01:46.400yeah and he says trust me i'm trying to my body's not recovering i'm no longer in my 20s i'm just
00:01:50.900trying really hard i'd love to be it i'm gonna be there whether i play i don't play i saw that
00:01:55.340and then apparently a lot of his people around him that are loving he just said i'm stepping away
00:01:59.500because the dui arrest that took place with him he made that comment i believe earlier yesterday
00:02:04.080that he's stepping away from the game uh with what happened tom where are you at with this
00:02:08.260with tiger woods how do you process i'm very sad um uh you know kim and i have followed him
00:02:14.300in golf for so long just the story just like everybody else has done um and um i saw him we
00:02:22.220uh kim and i were at the 2008 u.s open and we followed him and rocco mediate for a day and a
00:02:27.260half um and we saw the pain he was in at that time when um his knee needed surgery but he wins the
00:02:35.280u.s open at tory pines on that kind of a tough course uh in pain we saw him we could hear him
00:02:41.760grunt you know he was right there and um so you know that he had that and then what bothers me
00:02:48.360most is that if after all of these things to the body he's taking opioids and now he has like an
00:02:54.920addiction that happens to a lot of people russ limbaugh said he got an addiction after what was
00:02:59.560it back surgery or something that he said he started taking the opioids and he said they
00:03:03.720caught up with me and my body had jordan peterson went through it that's exactly right and so these
00:03:08.120are not junkies behind 7-Eleven. These are professional people that have pain, and the
00:03:14.580drug of choice they're given is these opioids, and if they're not careful, the body reacts with
00:03:20.280an addiction and a reliance on it, and I just hate this. Now, I don't know what he was feeling
00:03:27.020when he got in the car or whatever like that. They said he was driving fast. We've all seen
00:03:31.260all the facts on that, but it saddens me that this once great athlete now has got a lot of
00:03:37.980pain and you know and i'm i'm glad he's just saying straight up hey i gotta work on this and
00:03:43.840i gotta go go away but it doesn't sound to me like a you know an alcoholic wife beater giving
00:03:49.400a speech in the living room sounds like a guy that says these pills that are helping me i i gotta go
00:03:55.480i gotta go do something else there's there's even stories out there that apparently vanessa trump1.00
00:03:59.480told tiger she won't wait around like ellen if he continues with this direction and he truly wants
00:04:05.040to make a change, and Don Jr. is a little bit worried because his kids are around.
00:04:09.100Thank God, you know, Vanessa wasn't in the car.0.99
00:04:11.100Neither was their kids, so the conversations there, these are valid things.
00:04:16.120You know when you have a friend or somebody, a family member you love, who's truly having
00:04:22.160a hard time with something and addiction, and everybody's trying to help this person
00:04:26.440out, but it's like at the end of the day, the only person that can do it is themselves.
00:04:30.060You can go to as many rehab places, and they'll always tell you the same thing.
00:04:33.200we can't make him quit it has to be him adam your thoughts on this i feel bad for tiger but you reap
00:04:41.120what you sow i'm not a golf guy so the people that are that are the big golf people the people
00:04:45.320that love tiger probably not gonna like what i'm out to say but dude just retire because you're
00:04:49.740doing nothing but ruining your legacy and ruining your brand what does mj do these days because the
00:04:56.120reason i bring up mj because he's right behind vinnie is because we're talking goats you've
00:05:00.940interviewed many goats pat right you why does trump not uh sorry trump why does mj not do
00:05:07.400interviews why does he not do podcasts he's been doing more lately by the way he started to yeah
00:05:11.820he did the last dance because he's not trying to ruin the legacy that he created tiger wolf with
00:05:17.380tiger wolf uh tiger woods with every swing with every time he gets in a car with every time he
00:05:22.740goes onto the course he's not helping his legacy you think people care if he wins another match
00:05:28.320or wins another round or shoots a par or a birdie, people don't care.
00:05:32.880You've already solidified your legacy.
00:05:34.520All you're doing is tarnishing at this point.
00:05:36.540You know, what's the quote that I always talk about with Jack Bogle,
