Tiger Woods’ latest DUI arrest has raised concern from one of his teammates.

Kevin Kisner — who’s teammates with Woods on the Jupiter Links Golf Club of the indoor golf league, TGL — addressed the elephant in the room during a Saturday appearance on NBC, reflecting on the “really unfortunate incident” as the embattled golf superstar works his way back to competition ahead of the 2026 Masters.

. “He was really working hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape. He signed up for the U.S. Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do anything he could to come back and try and help our TGL team get ready, hopefully try and play the Masters. “Just a really unfortunate incident,” added Kisner. “The only positive is that nobody was injured in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.”Kevin Kisner: “Very disturbing. He was really working hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape. He signed up for the U.S. Senior Open yesterday. He was…Tiger Woods should quit after latest DUI crash, Brandel Chamblee says: ‘Why would he need to play golf anymore?’Despite blowing “triple zeroes” on his breathalyzer test, Woods allegedly appeared under the influence and was detained after refusing a urine test, getting charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Sitting alongside Kisner on the NBC broadcast, PGA pro and analyst Brad Faxon echoed a similar sentiment, underscoring Woods’ importance to the sport and voicing support for his recovery. “He’s the biggest needle-mover in our sport,” Faxon said. “You know, where we live in that area, the Jupiter area, whenever Tiger goes to play or practice, it gets around pretty quickly. “And the fact that he was getting ready to practice at his home club, and thinking maybe he’s going to play the Masters,” he continued. “Everybody was kind of hoping for that and we’re hoping for the best wishes for Tiger now as he goes forward.” Friday’s arrest marked Woods’ second DUI arrest, nearly nine years since he got behind the wheel after indulging in an assortment of painkillers. It also came five years after his near-fatal crash in California, which shattered his leg and extended a long history of medical procedures, headlined by several back surgeries — most recently a disc replacement in September while nursing a torn Achilles.Kisner and Faxon’s support offered a different stance than that of retired golf pro Brandel Chamblee, who on Friday In an interview with Golf Central, Chamblee questioned what the 15-time major champion — whose 82 PGA Tour wins are tied for the most of all-time — still has left to prove, and whether continuing is worth the seemingly endless cycle of pain. “It’s clear that Tiger Woods has a history of pushing himself to his physical limits — beyond his physical limits,” Chamblee said. “To the degree that he keeps hurting himself, injuring himself, requiring surgeries … those surgeries and injuries come along with prescribed pain medication. And unless you’ve had your head in the sand for the last 20, 30 years, you can connect the dots to the pain mediation and the addiction to the pain medication.”Mark CannizzaroStream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
