This came after Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence<\/a> following a rollover car crash in Florida.<\/p>\n

Woods swerved to avoid crashing into a truck while overtaking at high speed in a 30mph area and crawled out of the passenger seat after his SUV was turned on its side.<\/p>\n

Police officers at the scene noticed signs of impairment and Woods explained his injury situation, having spent a year recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon and more recently spine surgery.<\/p>\n

As his recovery continues\u00a0TMZ<\/a> are reporting that an aircraft left Florida on Saturday night and arrived in a European country on Sunday. <\/p>\n

It is now assumed the 15-time major champion returned home to support his girlfriend,\u00a0Vanessa Trump, who revealed on Monday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old has been in a relationship with the 48-year-old former model for more than a year.<\/p>\n

She shared a heartfelt message on social media, calling Woods her “strength” as she deals with her health battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cTiger has been very supportive of Vanessa<\/a> through all of this and is really just focused on being there for her,\u201d a source told the New York Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s proud of how positive she\u2019s stayed and how she\u2019s handling everything so far. <\/p>\n

“She\u2019s been so strong and he truly believes she\u2019s going to be OK. He\u2019s just trying to support her however he can right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been almost two years since Woods played in a competitive event, missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon.<\/p>\n

His accident earlier this year came just ahead of the Masters, which he has now missed for the last two years after a making the cut and finishing in a tie for 60th in 2024.<\/p>\n

The few who may have been holding out hope that\u00a0the golfing legend could tee it up in the U.S. Open on Father’s Day weekend in late June are not going to like the latest comments from USGA CEO Mike Whan.<\/p>\n

The tournament at Shinnecock Hills in New York gets underway on June 18, but don’t expect to see Woods in the field.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d be super surprised,” Whan told Sports Illustrated.<\/a><\/p>\n

“It would be wonderful for the event, and if he was ready, it would be wonderful for him.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, what he\u2019s going through is much bigger than golf. He\u2019s proven before that when he puts his mind to something, he\u2019s going to be great at it. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure he has a lot of years to play USGA championships. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to play in any 2026 USGA championship. <\/p>\n

“If he ends up playing in USGA championships, great. <\/p>\n

“But when I think of Tiger, my friend, that\u2019s not really what\u2019s important to me right now.”<\/p>\n
