On the golf course, Tiger Woods has no problem making use of a driver.

But for some reason, despite a net worth of $1.3 billion, the man simply refuses to hire a chauffeur, or even order a freakin’ Lyft.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Woods was arrested on DUI charges last week, and this is not the first time that he’s gotten himself into trouble behind the wheel.

With Tiger’s money, he could easily hire a pair of drivers to work in shifts.

The very least he could do is use a chauffeur or ride share service if he’s been drinking or taking meds that might slow his reaction time.

But despite nearly a decade of DUIs and accidents, the golf legend simply refuses to go that route. And now we might know why.

“doesn’t want anyone to watch over him or know what he is doing,” the source says. “And he thinks he is fine to drive.”

“He is not a social butterfly and prefers to hang around his home with his kids, or hitting balls, or playing video games,” the source says, adding:

“He despises public scrutiny.”

Yes, apparently, Tiger has to drive while impaired because he’s shy.

The “public scrutiny” he would get from hiring a driver is apparently worse than the scrutiny he receives from flipping his SUV while driving erratically on a weekday afternoon.

It’s worth mentioning that the crash happened at 2 pm, around the time that kids get out of school.

Tiger should probably contemplate the sort of scrutiny he would endure if this humiliation had reached the level of full-blown tragedy, as it very well could have.

In case you can’t tell, we’re a little annoyed by Tiger’s continued insistence on (allegedly) driving under the influence, despite multiple previous crashes and brushes with the law.

And it seems we’re not the only ones.

Insiders say Tiger’s girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, is furious over his latest scandal

“She’s not happy at all. She’s both disappointed and a little bit pissed, if I’m being honest,” one insider tells the Daily Mail.

“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.”

The source went on to state that if Woods doesn’t get his act together, Vanessa will kick him to the curb:

“He has to get things under control, or she’s not going to stick around,” they said.

Sounds like Tiger has a lot to lose if he doesn’t get his act together. Of course, that was the case with his last three traffic mishaps, and here we are.
