Tiger Woods just rolled his Range Rover on a Florida highway and walked out of jail with a DUI charge.
Now every sports anchor in America is bending over backward to explain it away.
Secret Service already answered the only question that matters.
Secret Service Blocked Tiger Woods From Driving Vanessa Trumps Kids Before the DUI Arrest
Woods is dating Vanessa Trump – the mother of five of President Trump's grandchildren, ages 11 to 18.
Secret Service agents assigned to protect those kids weren't waiting for a press conference to figure out the rules.
A family insider told the New York Post that agents had already blocked Woods from driving Trump's grandchildren before Friday's crash ever happened.
"There would be concern if their kids weren't being protected by Secret Service," the source said.
"Certainly not letting Tiger Woods" drive them.

That's not a family preference.
That's federal agents doing their job.
Members of the president's immediate family get around-the-clock protection through six months after he leaves office – meaning those kids are covered at least through mid-2029.
Tiger Woods DUI Arrest and Mugshot Showed a Pattern Florida Saw Coming
Friday afternoon, Woods was on a two-lane road near his Jupiter Island home when he tried to pass a pressure cleaner truck at high speed.
He clipped the trailer.
His Land Rover rolled onto its driver's side and skidded down South Beach Road.
Woods crawled out through the passenger window.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek held the press conference.
"Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment," Budensiek said.

Woods blew triple zeroes on the breathalyzer – no alcohol – but refused a urine test.
He was charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
He spent eight hours in Martin County Jail under Florida's mandatory DUI hold and walked out just before midnight.
This is the second time Woods has been arrested for DUI in Florida.
In 2017, police found him asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes in Jupiter, Florida, in the early hours of Memorial Day.
Toxicology confirmed five substances – Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC.
He pleaded guilty to reckless driving, entered a diversion program, and checked into inpatient rehab for prescription drug dependence.
Trump Stood By His Friend – Then the Mugshot Dropped
Trump was stepping off Air Force One in Miami when reporters caught him.
He knew about the crash.
He hadn't heard about the arrest yet.
"I feel so badly," Trump said. "He's got some difficulty. Very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person, amazing man."

A few hours later, the mugshot circulated everywhere – red eyes, blue polo, no statement.
Vanessa Trump said nothing.
She returned to Instagram the next day with photos of her daughter Kai at the Miami Open – zero mention of Woods or the crash.
The sports media was less subtle.
ESPN anchor after ESPN anchor appeared on camera to remind viewers about Woods' surgeries, his pain management challenges, his comeback attempts.
Plenty of sympathy.
Nobody asked the obvious question.
Tiger Woods Has Four Car Incidents and Two DUIs and the Sports Media Keeps Looking Away
The pattern goes back 17 years.
In 2009, Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a tree outside his Florida home – sleeping pills were later linked to the incident.
In 2017, unconscious at the wheel in Jupiter, loaded with five drugs, arrested in the same county he was arrested in on Friday.
In 2021, his SUV rolled multiple times down a California hillside at nearly 90 mph in a 45-mph zone – requiring emergency surgery to save his right leg.
Now 2026.
Same county.

Same pattern.
A man who has been arrested twice for driving impaired on prescription drugs, in the same Florida county, nine years apart, with four total car incidents on his record – that man is not having bad luck.
That's a documented pattern of behavior that keeps putting other people at risk.
The truck driver on South Beach Road didn't sign up to be in Tiger Woods' comeback story.
The PGA Tour is staying quiet.
The sports media is framing this as a tragedy of chronic pain.
And somewhere in Jupiter Island, five of the president's grandchildren have Secret Service agents who already made the call these adults wouldn't.
