Tiger Woods is reportedly prevented from driving President Trump’s grandchildren by secret service agents.
The 50-year-old golf legend was arrested on Friday afternoon after colliding with a truck and trailer, and flipping his SUV on to its side in Florida.
Woods had tried to overtake at high speed on a residential Jupiter Island road but ended up clipping the back of the vehicle.
After clambering out of the passenger side window of his vehicle, Woods refused to give a urine sample to cops and was arrested for DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
The incident has shone a light on the 15-time major winner’s relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of the president and mother to five of his grandchildren.
But, according to the New York Post, it is the secret service – rather than Woods – who is behind the wheel when the president’s grandchildren are in the car.

Agents are ‘certainly not letting Tiger Woods – even without the DUI’ drive the kids, the report claimed.
Vanessa Trump has five children with ex-husband Donald Jr. including promising golfer Kai Trump, 18. Their other kids are Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11.
The president’s immediate family is given around-the-clock protection from federal agents until Trump leaves office. His second term is slated to run until 2029.
On Friday Trump, who awarded Woods the Medal of Freedom in 2019, said: ‘I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man. But some difficulty.’
This was not Woods’ first issue behind the wheel. He was arrested for another DUI in 2017 after police found him slumped in his car in Florida with five drugs in his system, including two painkillers.
Woods was later involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, which shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle. He needed multiple surgeries in order to recover from his injuries.
Neither Vanessa nor Kai Trump were with the golf star when his car turned on its side in Florida.
After eight hours in jail, Woods was driven home through the flashes of paparazzi cameras shortly after 11pm on Friday.

The Daily Mail revealed on Saturday that Vanessa was waiting for the golf legend when he returned home from the Martin County Public Safety Complex.
‘She’s not happy at all,’ a source told the Daily Mail. ‘She’s both disappointed and a little bit p***ed, if I’m being honest.
‘It’s a definite red flag and she told him that he’s going to get this sorted out, and that she’s going to require that. He has to get things under control, or she’s not going to stick around.’
The pair have been dating since last March, a relationship first revealed by the Daily Mail, but this is the first time she has been thrust into the limelight by one of his many scandals.
