Tiger Woods has been in the news since his recent car crash, but there have been some shocking revelations from someone who knows him well. His former employee has come forward, saying Tiger declared he has never been a careful driver. He even raised speculations against the golfer for refusing to give a drug test after his recent crash. Woods was arrested recently for damaging property, as well as for refusing to comply with the lawful drug testing after the crash.
According to Page Six, this former employee of Tiger’s revealed that the golf pro has not committed this overspeeding for the first time, but has actually been doing it for a long time. He mentioned that Tiger used to drive by the cops at 60 miles per hour, and cops didn’t seem to bother. While talking about Woods, the insider also weighed in that the athlete would have refused the drug test because he takes a lot of painkillers for his multiple injuries.
His exact words were, “The guy is a terrible driver…he drives like a bat out of hell very often on a road where lawn services are parked with heavy equipment, I’ve been with him in the car going 55 or 60 mph, driving past cops who don’t seem to care,” He talking about Tiger’s non compliance for drug test clarified that it was because of taking drugs on purpose as he said, “I know the guy, that’s just not what he does, he has been on tons of pain medication for years”
Tiger Woods admitted to using pain relief medication, which might have caused him to fall asleep behind the wheel
Even though Tiger’s employee criticized him for his habits, Tiger himself had previously confirmed his revelation about taking medicines. The golfer was in a car crash in 2017 when he admitted to having used xanax before driving, which caused him to roll multiple times in his car, and even the police admitted that he was just lethargic instead of being on any sort of drug.
Tiger might have been using the medications for his pains, but his repetitive crash history raises questions over his behavior towards his off-field choices. He has been penalized multiple times for his road actions and is still facing a case in this regard. Woods’ crash history raises questions about his ability to drive because he met with an accident in 2009, and then in 2017, he ended up having two road crashes in just a span of 2 months.
Tiger, with these revelations, is already having issues with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, and, with things getting tight around him, it remains to be seen what consequences he will face for his nonchalant road behavior. Either way, this incident could significantly impact his image off the field, despite his unmatched achievements in golf.
