Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly has criticized golf legend Tiger Woods for attempting to contact Donald Trump while being arrested for DUI last month.
The controversy gained traction after reports from the New York Post claimed Woods appeared to make a call to Trump during the arrest, prompting Kelly to label the move as inappropriate.
On March 27, Woods, who is dating the president's ex-daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump, allegedly rolled his black Range Rover and called the president while it was still lying on its side.
Kelly questioned Woods’ judgment and suggested that attempting to contact a president during a DUI arrest was ill-suited.
She called the phone call a 'douche move' and hypothesized that Woods was attempting to avoid consequence.
In the call footage, Woods was heard saying, 'Thank you so much.'
Kelly speculated that Trump might have given Woods a call to express regret for a PR mistake he had made the previous evening.
However, she ultimately concluded that Woods called Trump to ask for help due to the potential PR disaster and legal consequences.
Details of the DUI arrest include Woods' SUV flipping onto its side after colliding with a trailer while traveling on Jupiter Island north of Miami.
Woods participated in several field sobriety tests, but made several errors, including moving his head during a vision test and miscounting during a coordination exercise.
