The error occurred during the network’s studio show ahead of its third-round coverage of the Texas Children’s Houston Open, which included mention of the Friday night incident in which Woods was arrested for DUI.
Instead of visuals from that recent crash, NBC showed visuals from Woods’ high-profile Southern California accident in 2021. Late in the broadcast, as the day’s final group was finishing the 14th hole, lead play-by-play announcer Dan Hicks stepped in with an on-air correction.
