  • Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence after a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon.
  • President Donald Trump expressed concern for his "close friend," stating Woods was experiencing "some difficulty" following the accident.
  • “There was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump said. He’s a very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man. Some difficulty, I don’t want to talk about it.”
  • This marks Woods' second DUI arrest and third major crash, with authorities suspecting impairment by medication after he passed a breathalyzer but refused a urine sample.
  • Woods will remain in county jail for at least eight hours, and his status for next month's Masters tournament remains uncertain.
