Trump defends Tiger Woods plea deal, cites chronic pain and failed back surgery
Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving in a Florida court, resulting in a five-year license suspension. President Donald Trump publicly defended the golfer, attributing the incident to severe pain from a failed back operation and prescription medication rather than alcohol. The plea resolves the case stemming from a March rollover crash on Jupiter Island, where Woods tested negative for alcohol but refused a urine test.
