'He Doesn't Have an Alcohol Problem' — Trump Defends Tiger Woods After DUI Arrest, Citing Chronic Back and Leg Pain

Trump says Tiger has 'no alcohol problem, just pain.'

Donald Trump has commented on Tiger Woods' DUI arrest last Friday in Florida. Speaking to the New York Post in an exclusive phone interview on Tuesday, the president said he had already been in touch with the golf legend and that Woods was 'doing great' despite the incident.

'I have talked with Woods,' Trump said. 'I think he's doing great, he's doing good.' He pushed back on any suggestion that the arrest pointed to a drinking problem. 'He doesn't have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain,' noting that Woods tested negative for alcohol and had long been dealing with serious physical injuries to his back and leg.
