Tiger Woods is facing pressure at home after his recent DUI (driving under the influence) arrest, with reports claiming his girlfriend Vanessa Trump is demanding immediate change from him if their relationship is to continue.

The golf legend was arrested on Friday, March 27, following a crash in Florida, where authorities allege he was driving at a high speed while attempting to overtake a trailer before colliding with it.

The impact caused his SUV to flip. 

Woods now reportedly faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence, causing property damage and refusing to submit to a mandatory test. 

While he passed a breathalyser test at the scene, he declined to take a urine test, raising suspicions among law enforcement that other substances may have been involved.

According to reports, Woods spent around eight hours in custody before being released on bail. Officials noted that although alcohol was not suspected, he showed signs of impairment during roadside assessments.

No injuries were recorded. Woods is said to have crawled out of the vehicle following the crash.

However, beyond the legal trouble, the situation has reportedly caused tension in his personal life. Trump, who went public with Woods in 2025, is said to have witnessed the aftermath of the crash.

“She’s not happy at all,” a source close to the couple told "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.”

More sources say Woods is “shocked and embarrassed” and is trying to make amends following the crash.

The situation also places renewed attention on Woods’s history with driving-related incidents. In 2017, he was arrested for DUI after being found asleep at the wheel with prescription drugs in his system. 

In 2021, he survived a serious car crash that left him with leg injuries.

Now, legal experts suggest this latest case could be taken seriously by prosecutors, regardless of his status. 

He is also reportedly preparing for a possible return to professional golf, with the Masters Tournament on the horizon in April.
