Tiger Woods has been charged with DUI in the rollover car crash in Florida Friday, police said. The golf legend is alleged to have been under the influence of “some type of medication or drug,” Martin County sheriff’s said, adding that he was “lethargic” when he was found.

“I’m feeling bad for him, I don’t like sugar-coating things,” former PGA golfer Mark Lye said during Saturday’s episode of“And the way I look at it, there’s got to be some sort of punishment or withdrawal or some sort of a suspension from the game” The former golf pro said there “has to be some accountability” for the five-time Masters champ, whom he called a “gift to golf.

” “I’m just wondering where that discipline that he’s learned to convey on the golf course is take hold in his personal life,” he added. “He’s got demons going on.” Peers of Tiger Woods, including Mark Lye are demanding accountability following Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest.“I’m feeling bad for him, I don’t like sugar-coating things,” Lye said of Woods, who was arrested for DUI after rolling his Land Rover on Friday in Florida.

Bell also expressed sympathy for the physical pain Woods has endured following injuries sustained in a 2021 roller crash in Palos Verdes, Los Angeles. “He’s dealing with something that we don’t know what’s going on inside his head, the pain that he’s in from all the surgeries,” he noted. Removing himself from golf “might be the best thing” for Woods, Bell said.Woods, 50, was arrested on Friday and charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test following an afternoon incident in his Land Rover in Jupiter Island, Florida just after 2 p.m.“Let’s hope this leads to something positive for one of the great athletes and figures in this world,” Bell said of the incident Woods was arrested and charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
