In footage reviewed by PEOPLE, Tiger Woods appeared relatively relaxed while speaking with officers shortly after the crash, even managing to joke about his future on the golf course. 

When asked whether he planned to compete in the Masters, Woods responded, “Hoping to, depends on y’all!” prompting an officer to quickly reply, “It don’t depend on me!”

The exchange took another light turn when Woods asked if officers could retrieve his golf clubs from the vehicle. 

When questioned about their importance, he explained, “I won 14 majors with it,” a comment that drew praise from one officer, who replied, “They don’t call you the GOAT for nothing.”

Despite the casual tone, Woods also showed concern about being seen at the scene. 

Officers reassured him that the area had been secured, even adding a personal observation that he looked taller in real life than on television.

Additional bodycam footage revealed a more serious side of the situation as events progressed. 

The 50-year-old was seen walking around outside before telling deputies he “was just talking to the president,” while holding his phone and adding, “Trying to get away from everybody.”

It remains unclear whether he was referring to President Donald Trump, though the two have maintained a known friendship over the years.

As the encounter continued, Woods participated in field sobriety tests before officers made the decision to take him into custody. 

At one point, he asked, “I’m being arrested?” to which an officer responded, “At this time, I do believe your normal faculties are impaired.”

In separate footage, Woods was later seen seated in the back of a police vehicle in Jupiter Island, Florida. 

Covered with a sheet and in handcuffs, he appeared subdued, occasionally looking out the window, yawning, and wiping his nose during the ride.

Another police body cam footage recently made headlines as it showed Tiger Woods giving his own account of the crash during his DUI arrest.

As The Blast reported, he told officers it was caused by a brief distraction inside his car. 

According to the footage, Woods said, “I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden, boom,” explaining that he had also been trying to change the radio station when the accident happened.  

He maintained that alcohol was not involved. The footage also captured when Woods appeared to brush off medical help telling officers he was fine despite the severity of the incident. 

When first responders arrived, a deputy asked if he was okay, and Woods responded, “Yeah, I’m fine,” even after his SUV had flipped onto its side.  

Medics were called to assess him, but Woods remained calm and did not show urgency for treatment. 

Authorities noted that although he escaped without major injuries, he showed signs of impairment, including slow movement and sweating.  

The footage showed him kneeling on the roadside, composed but visibly affected, as officers continued their investigation.

Following the crash, Woods is now dealing with multiple legal challenges. He has been charged with DUI involving property damage, careless driving, and refusing to take a lawful test.

At the same time, developments in his medical situation have added another layer to the story. 

A Florida judge recently granted the golfer permission to travel outside the United States for treatment after his physician recommended specialized care. 

According to court documents, his condition was described as a “complex clinical presentation,” requiring treatment not readily available domestically.

His attorney, Douglas Duncan, also raised concerns about privacy, stating that “ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment.”

Woods’ recent DUI arrest could have lasting financial consequences, with experts warning that his market value has already been slipping. 

According to a report from The Blast, a celebrity expert revealed, “He was already on the decline from a marketing standpoint. It’s tough to say if you’re aligned with Tiger, you knew what you’re getting into,” pointing to his past struggles and controversies. 

The expert added that Woods had not done enough to rebuild his once-powerful brand, telling Page Six, “He’s at the point where he’s lost marketing confidence from his major partners a while back.” 

The concerns go beyond endorsements, as the expert also highlighted signs of distancing from his business ventures.

They cited the omission of his name from a press release and article on NFL.com about the NFL’s collaboration with his TMRW Sport. 

“The interesting thing now is how TMRW is looked at… They left his name out of the announcement with the NFL. So there is already a bit of distancing,” the source explained.
