Jason Day calls out Tiger Woods for 'selfish' act after his DUI arrest, hopeful he can come out of treatment better

Jason Day has plenty of sympathy for everything that Tiger Woods has gone through in his career, and his struggles off the course. But there is one thing that Day called “a little bit selfish” when he was asked about Woods on Monday ahead of the Masters. “When I look at [Woods], I look at it and go, he’s just a human being like everyone else and we have struggles,” Day said from Augusta National.

“It’s unfortunate. The only thing that I don’t understand is that it’s a little bit selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm’s way, as well. “But when you’re the player that he was and how strong-willed he is, he thinks he can do almost anything, and that’s probably why he’s probably driving and a little bit under the influence.

” Woods is not in the field this week at the Masters after he was involved in a rollover crash and arrested late last month in Florida. Woods collided with a pickup truck and rolled his Range Rover, and was arrested and charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Woods has since pleaded not guilty, and has s tepped away from golf for an undetermined period of time to seek treatment.

Woods, officials said, had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of his arrest. Woods was already recovering from a ruptured Achilles he suffered in March 2025. He also underwent surgery for a lumbar disc replacement in October, which marked the seventh back surgery he’s undergone in his career.
