| 0:00.0 | Tiger Woods is in big trouble. |
| 0:03.0 | Woods was arrested for DUI in Florida Friday after crashing into the back of a pickup truck and flipping his Land Rover on its side. |
| 0:10.0 | This is the second DUI, both the result of taking medication and driving at a very high rate of speed. |
| 0:19.0 | This incident comes just days before the coveted Masters tournament |
| 0:22.8 | tees off in Augusta, Georgia. |
| 0:24.8 | Certainly there's gonna have to be accountability. |
| 0:28.3 | Rich, what are your thoughts on Tiger Woods |
| 0:31.2 | and his recent suspicion of DUI arrest? |

| 1:25.9 | that he was impaired at the moment of his arrest. |
| 1:30.2 | And of course, this is not the first time. In 2009, he collided with a fire hydrant. That was his |
| 1:36.7 | first fall from grace. In 2017, he was arrested under the suspicion of DUI. I believe he was |
| 1:43.9 | found asleep behind the wheel of his parked car. |
| 1:48.0 | And what's interesting about that incident is that he claimed that he was taking medication |
| 1:53.4 | to manage his pain from spinal fusion surgery. |
| 1:57.7 | An alift procedure of the L5 and S-1. |
