The golf legend insists he can drive himself, but his decision not to hire a personal driver has raised fresh questions following another serious vehicular incident.
It’s the question that’s been on everybody’s mind since his latest vehicular mishap. But Tiger Woods has no plans to hire a personal driver, according to insiders, even after his latest DUI arrest, because he is deeply concerned about his privacy.
Sources say the 15-time major champion does not want anyone tracking his movements or knowing his whereabouts at all times.
The golf icon insists he is perfectly capable of driving himself, a decision that raised eyebrows just days after he flipped his SUV in a serious crash while impaired.
According to an anonymous source cited by gossip outlet People Magazine, Woods does not like being in the public eye. Which is super-weird, because he keeps putting himself there with his reckless behavior.
“He is not a social butterfly and prefers to hang around his home with his kids, or hitting balls, or playing video games,” the source said. “He despises public scrutiny.”

This stance comes after Tiger Woods’ March 27th arrest in Jupiter, Florida, where authorities say he was speeding, clipped a pickup truck, and rolled his vehicle.
Although he blew 0.00 for alcohol, Woods displayed clear signs of impairment, failed field sobriety tests, and refused a urine test — leading to charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to testing.
Woods has a documented history of driving incidents stretching back to 2009, when he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and tree outside his Windermere, Florida, home in the early morning hours following a domestic dispute. That dispute exposed his extramarital affairs and very much derailed his career.
In 2017, he was arrested for DUI in Jupiter, Florida, after police found him asleep behind the wheel of his Mercedes with multiple prescription drugs—including Vicodin, Xanax, and Ambien—in his system; he later pleaded guilty to reckless driving and completed a diversion program.
He then suffered a near-fatal single-car rollover in Los Angeles in 2021 while speeding at over 80 mph.
How bad is it? Johnny freaking football is suggesting that Tiger start using Waymo.

Meanwhile, Woods’ teammate in The Golf League, Kevin Kisner, described the DUI incident as “very disturbing.”
Kisner highlighted how hard Woods had been working to return to form, noting he had been practicing, getting back in shape, and had just signed up for the U.S. Senior Open.
“Just a really unfortunate incident,” Kisner added. “The only positive is that nobody was injured in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.”
