Tiger Woods’ former spouse, Elin Nordegren, is reportedly feeling concerned about his well-being following his arrest on suspicion of driving while under the influence. The renowned American golf icon was apprehended and transported to a police facility after his Land Rover overturned in Florida on Friday.
The 50-year-old has been granted bail after facing charges of property damage and refusal to undergo a lawful test. Although no injuries were reported from the accident, Woods had to exit the vehicle through the passenger door as it had flipped onto its side.
According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, the 15-time Major champion exhibited signs of impairment and declined to provide a urine sample. Allegedly, Woods received criticism from his partner, Vanessa Trump, with his ex-wife Nordegren expressing worry over this recent driving incident.
A source revealed that Nordegren is primarily concerned due to the close bond between Woods and their children. The source emphasized her desire for Woods to prioritize his well-being, especially considering the children’s affection for their father.
Woods had a previous car accident in 2009 involving sleeping pills in his system. In 2017, he faced a DUI charge after being discovered asleep at the wheel, attributing it to an unexpected reaction to prescribed medication.
In a harrowing incident in 2021, Woods survived a crash near Los Angeles while driving at over 80mph, resulting in severe leg and ankle injuries. The recovery process was described as grueling, prompting Nordegren to advocate for Woods to make healthier decisions for himself and their children.
Following their divorce in 2010, Woods and Swedish model Nordegren co-parent their two children, Sam, 18, and Charlie, 17. Woods is currently romantically involved with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr.
Upon learning of Woods’ recent crash, his girlfriend expressed discontent. She emphasized the need for Woods to address his behavior, setting clear expectations for improvement, or risking the relationship.
The concerned source highlighted the remorseful and embarrassed demeanor of Woods, indicating his determination to rectify the situation. The repeated incidents have led to embarrassment for both Woods and Vanessa Trump, prompting a call for immediate change to avoid further repercussions.
