Tiger Woods has been dating the mother of Don Jr.'s five children for over a year.
Last Friday, he flipped his Land Rover on a residential street and got arrested for DUI.
Now Don Jr. is done playing nice – and he's drawing a line in the sand.
Tiger Woods DUI Arrest Near Jupiter Island: What Happened
On the afternoon of March 27, Woods was speeding down a two-lane road on Jupiter Island, Florida, when he tried to pass a pressure-cleaning truck.
He clipped the trailer.
His Range Rover flipped onto its side and slid down the road.
When deputies arrived, they found the 15-time major champion standing next to his wrecked SUV – lethargic, showing signs of impairment, and blowing triple zeroes on the breathalyzer.
No alcohol.
But deputies didn't buy that he was sober.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters his team believes Woods was impaired by "some type of medication or drug."
Woods refused a urine test – the test that would have confirmed exactly what was in his system.
He was arrested, charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, and held for eight hours before posting bail.
Don Jr. Says He Saw This Coming the Whole Time
Don Jr. has been watching Tiger Woods get close to his family for over a year.
He stayed quiet.
He co-parented with Vanessa.
He stayed out of her personal life.
That's over.
"Everyone else gave Tiger the benefit of the doubt," a source close to Don Jr. told journalist Rob Shuter. "But Don always saw the red flags. Always."
The concern isn't abstract.
Vanessa and the Trump kids have been spending time with Woods for months.
Eighteen-year-old Kai Trump was photographed talking with him at a TGL golf event just weeks before the crash.
Now Don Jr. has reportedly made himself crystal clear: Tiger Woods does not belong around his kids.
"Having Tiger as a friend of the family is one thing," the insider said. "Having him around your kids? That's a completely different story — and, to Don, it's alarming."

Don Jr.'s position isn't complicated.
He doesn't believe Woods has dealt with his addiction.
He doesn't think any previous rehab stint changed anything.
And he's not backing down.
"He doesn't think Tiger has changed. He refuses to get help. In Don's mind, this is who he is — and it's not someone he wants influencing his children," the source said.
President Trump moved first.
According to reports, Trump has banned his grandchildren from riding in any vehicle driven by Woods – full stop.
"It's a hard no," an insider told reporters. "He doesn't want Tiger behind the wheel with his grandkids. Not happening."
The Secret Service was reportedly already on the same page – keeping Woods away from the kids regardless of the arrest.
Tiger Woods DUI History: From 2017 Prescription Drugs to a Second Arrest
This was Woods' second DUI arrest in Florida.
The first was in 2017, when police found him asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes in Jupiter – the same town.
Toxicology from that incident found five substances in his system: Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC.
Woods checked into rehab, pleaded guilty to reckless driving, entered a diversion program – and the case was closed.
That was supposed to be the wake-up call.
The pattern goes back further than 2017.
The 2021 crash outside Los Angeles – the one that nearly cost him his leg – happened at speeds law enforcement described as far above the posted limit.
An empty, unlabeled pill container was found in his vehicle.
He told police he thought he was in Florida.
He was in California.
Now, five years later, he's rolled another SUV – this time three miles from his front door – and refused the one test that would have told investigators what was in his system.
The refusal wasn't accidental.
Woods is 50 years old, has had 12 surgeries across his back and knees, and has been managing serious pain for two decades.
He knows exactly what a urine test would find.
Don Jr. knows it too.

Vanessa Trump reportedly confronted Woods the moment he walked through the door after his arrest Friday night.
One source described what followed as intense, direct exchanges that left no room for deflection.
She has reportedly issued an ultimatum: a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail that Woods needs to "get things under control" or she's gone.
Woods is said to be apologetic and wants to fix things.
Don Jr. isn't waiting around to find out if this time is different.
His ex-wife can make her own decisions.
His kids are a different matter entirely – and every father in America understands exactly where he's coming from.
