Golf legend Tiger Woods expressed surprise upon his arrest for driving under the influence following a rollover crash last Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida.

The incident occurred shortly after 2:00 p.m. ET when Woods’ Land Rover SUV clipped the rear of a truck and overturned on its side. No injuries were reported. Woods told deputies he had been looking at his phone and adjusting the radio when the collision happened.

Bodycam footage released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office captured Woods, moments after the crash, ending a phone call and informing a deputy, “I was just talking to the president.” He was heard saying “Thank you so much” during the conversation, though the call itself was not recorded.

It remains unclear whether he referred to President Donald Trump, whose former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, has been romantically linked to Woods.

Woods, 50, failed a field sobriety test, during which he exhibited impairment signs, including hiccuping and difficulty following instructions. He attributed his unsteady gait to seven back surgeries and more than 20 procedures on his right leg and ankle.

Deputies discovered two white pills in his pocket, which he identified as Norco, a painkiller containing hydrocodone. He acknowledged taking prescription medications earlier but denied alcohol consumption. A Breathalyzer test returned negative for alcohol, yet he refused a urine test, resulting in an additional misdemeanor charge under Florida law.

In a stunning plot twist nobody saw coming—except maybe everyone—Tiger Woods, the golfing deity with a back catalog of surgeries longer than a PGA Tour leaderboard, managed to roll his Land Rover in Jupiter Island while juggling his phone, radio, and apparently, presidential conversations. After whispering sweet “Thank yous” to some mystery commander-in-chief—because who doesn’t multitask crisis management with a 2 p.m. drive?—Tiger flunked sobriety tests that apparently don’t consider multiple orthopedic upgrades a perfectly legit excuse for hiccups and wobbly walking. The only thing sober about this saga was the Breathalyzer, which came back clean while the refusal to pee on command earned Tiger yet another charge in the Florida bureaucratic bingo game. Pills, phone calls, presidential intrigue, and denial: apparently Tiger’s new caddie is irony itself.
