Tiger Woods’ former spouse, Elin Nordegren, has expressed worry about his well-being following his arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The renowned American golf player was apprehended and taken to a police facility after flipping his Land Rover in Florida. Despite escaping injury in the accident, Woods had to exit the vehicle through the passenger door as it had overturned.
The 50-year-old has been released on bail but faces charges of property damage and refusal to undergo a lawful test. According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, the 15-time Major champion displayed signs of impairment and declined to provide a urine sample. Reports suggest that Woods faced criticism from his partner, Vanessa Trump, while his ex-wife Nordegren is also troubled by his latest driving mishap.
A source close to the situation revealed, “The children have a close relationship with Tiger, so naturally, Elin is concerned. She wants him to recover well. Both children adore their father and enjoy spending time with him. Elin is worried about his recent car accident and arrest.”
Woods’ history includes a 2009 crash involving sleeping pills in his system and a 2017 DUI charge attributed to an adverse reaction to prescribed medication. In 2021, he survived a severe crash in California at speeds exceeding 80mph, sustaining significant leg and ankle injuries that nearly led to amputation.
Regarding Woods’ recovery from the 2021 crash, the source added, “It was a challenging ordeal. [Elin] simply wants him to prioritize his well-being and be present for the children.”
Woods and ex-wife Nordegren, aged 46, divorced in 2010 and have two children together, Sam, 18, and Charlie, 17. The golfer is currently in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. Vanessa Trump reportedly expressed dissatisfaction upon learning of Woods’ recent crash, emphasizing the need for him to address his issues promptly to maintain their relationship.
“This concerned girlfriend is setting boundaries and insisting on prompt resolution of his problems,” the source continued. “He is apologetic and determined to rectify the situation. The repetition of such incidents is embarrassing and humbling for him and Vanessa.”
