Woods was placed under arrest after performing a series of field sobriety tests, and during a search, law enforcement found 'two white pills inside Woods’ left side pant pocket.' According to the arrest affidavit, the pills were later identified as hydrocodone, a prescription opioid for pain relief.

He does have pain,' Trump added Tuesday of Woods. 'He doesn’t have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.'
