Despite a glaring history of driving incidents and alleged substance abuse issues, Tiger Woods is reportedly refusing to hire a personal driver—and it all comes down to his deep desire to keep his personal life under wraps.
According to an anonymous insider who spoke with People magazine, the golf legend vehemently rejects the idea of utilizing a chauffeur because he "doesn't want anyone to watch over him or know what he is doing." Furthermore, the source revealed that Woods genuinely believes he is perfectly capable of getting behind the wheel safely.
The insider noted that Woods absolutely "despises public scrutiny." However, his attempt to fly under the radar by driving himself has ironically backfired, generating massive media spectacles following multiple DUI-related arrests.
The renewed scrutiny over Woods' driving habits comes on the heels of a dramatic recent arrest in Jupiter, Florida. Authorities allege that an impaired Woods was speeding down a two-lane road when his SUV clipped the back of a pickup truck's trailer, causing his own vehicle to flip over.
Following the harrowing wreck, the Martin County Sheriff's Department reported that Woods failed a series of on-site field sobriety tests. He was immediately taken into custody and processed, resulting in a widely circulated and somber mugshot.
As of now, the legendary athlete has remained silent and has yet to release a public statement regarding his latest crash.
