This subtle taunt further heightened the intrigue and speculation surrounding McGregor’s playful jab at the golfing legend.
The DUI incident
Tiger Woods found himself in a precarious situation when the police discovered he had over five substances in his system while driving. Exhibiting signs of drowsiness, Woods was pulled over, revealing the presence of two painkillers, sleep-inducing medications, and even a marijuana product.
At that time police didn’t confirm whether the medications were prescribed to Woods or not. Consequently, Woods opted for a plea deal, pleading guilty to the charge of reckless driving. This strategic move ultimately led to the dropping of other charges against him, highlighting the legal consequences and decisions Woods faced in the aftermath of the incident.
