Tiger told deputy: 'Was just talking to president'
Why it matters: Tiger Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI and is stepping away indefinitely to seek treatment for his health.
- Tiger Woods was heard telling a deputy he "was just talking to the president" after his crash, though it's unclear if he referred to Donald Trump, who later expressed concern for his "very close friend."
- Body camera footage shows Woods appearing astonished during his arrest, failing a field sobriety test, and having two Norco pills removed from his pocket.
- Woods told authorities he was distracted by his phone and radio when his Land Rover clipped a truck, and later stated he was on "prescription medication" after being arrested for DUI.
- Donald Trump told reporters he felt "so badly" for Woods, calling him an "amazing person" and "close friend" after the golfer's arrest.
