WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he spoke with golfer Tiger Woods following his Friday DUI arrest in Florida — saying the legendary athlete “lives a life of pain” due to existing physical injuries, but is “doing great.”
“I have” talked with Woods, Trump said in a Tuesday phone interview. “I think he’s doing great, he’s doing good.”
The 50-year-old golfer is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. He was found with two hydrocodone pills in his pocket after the crash in Jupiter Island — telling police he lost control after looking at his phone and changing the radio station.
“He 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,” Trump said.
“He lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He’s an amazing guy. He’s an amazing athlete. He does have pain.”
The president added: “He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.”
