Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges in Florida on Friday, but his team has yet to issue a statement on his participation in the upcoming Masters. While President Donald Trump says Woods won't be playing, an ex-staffer claims the golfer is a 'terrible driver.'

Woods was released after eight hours, but authorities revealed that he clipped the back of a truck while trying to overtake it at high speed, causing his vehicle to roll onto its driver's side. He was not injured, but refused to submit to a urine test, citing his reliance on 'tons of pain medication.'

Woods has a lifetime Masters eligibility, but his health and injuries have been a concern. His injury history spans more than two decades, including multiple back surgeries, ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendon ruptures, and chronic knee issues.

The 15-times major champion has won 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, and 82 PGA Tour events, a record he shares with Sam Snead. His major titles include five Masters, three US Opens, three British Opens, and four PGA Championships.
