According to body cam footage after his crash that led to DUI charges, Tiger Woods said he was "just talking to the president."
President Donald Trump told the New York Post that he had a conversation with Tiger Woods following the golf star's DUI arrest March 27 in Jupiter Island, Florida. While the Post said they talked on March 31, Trump didn't mention when he talked to Woods. According to body camera footage released April 2 by the Martin County Sheriff's Office, Woods was seen talking on a phone as he was approached by police immediately after the rollover crash that led to his arrest.
After he got off the phone, he told an officer he was “just talking to the president. ” It was unclear if Woods was talking to Trump, who hours after the incident had landed aboard Air Force One in Miami for a conference. The news of Woods' arrest had been made public by that time.
