President Donald Trump told the New York Post he talked to Tiger Woods following the golfer's rollover crash and DUI arrest. Woods was involved in the crash on March 27 in Jupiter Island, Florida, where he has lived since 2007. Woods was arrested and charged with a DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test by the local sheriff's department.

He pleaded not guilty. The arrest report states officers observed Woods' movements as "lethargic and slow," and that he had trouble following directions for the sobriety tests. He blew all zeros on a breathalyzer test, but the report states officers found in Woods' pocket two pills identified as hydrocodone , an opioid used to treat severe chronic pain.

โ€œHe tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg,โ€ Trump told the New York Post in a phone interview on March 31. โ€œHe lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain.

Heโ€™s an amazing guy. Heโ€™s an amazing athlete. He does have pain.
