Not for the first time in his career, fans are concerned about the welfare of Tiger Woods after he featured in an interview for his charity foundation in Las Vegas.
The 48-year-old was in Sin City for a poker event alongside professional player Phil Hellmuth
and gaming streamer Ninja as part of his charity TGR Foundation, the non-profit he founded in 1996.
In a video clip posted by Hellmuth on Friday, Woods wore a groggy expression on his face and his cheeks appeared to be swollen.
“I’m so proud of Tiger at the TGR foundation, we’re doing Tiger’s poker night,” Hellmuth said in the video uploaded to X.
“We’re going to raise a million, maybe $2million dollars. It’s a really nice event.”
But as Woods spoke in the video, he struggled to get his words out coherently and it wasn’t difficult for fans to notice. Hellmuth praised his charity work and asked him for his favorite moment, to which he replied: “It’s the stories that the kids come back and tell.
“The first generation to ever go to college. Parents said you’d never go to college, grandparents say you’d never go to college, it’s useless. All of a sudden, they’re in college flourishing, going to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Yale, going to amazing places doing amazing things. One of our girls … she’s one of the directors who landed one of the rovers on Mars.”
Fans think Tiger Woods was intoxicated
The clip only lasted for 90 seconds, but it was enough to cause some concern amongst his fans, who made their thoughts clear on social media – with some suggesting he may have been under the influence.
One user wrote: “damn, I hope Tiger is OK…”, while another said: “Tiger looks so sauced!!” another user replied.
The 15-time Major winner’s private life has divided opinion over the last decade, but it seems burning at the candle at both ends may be catching up with the American golfing legend.
Woods, who has a net worth of around $1.3bn, pled guilty in a DUI case in 2017 where he allegedly had five different drugs – Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC – in his system.
He also suffered career-threatening injuries in a car crash in 2021, with his right leg requiring an extensive operation, and it forced him to be hospitalized for three weeks.
