Megyn Kelly swung her irons at Tiger Woods after it was revealed that he made a phone call to President Trump while being arrested for alleged DUI last month.
Kelly described the phone call as a “douche move” on her YouTube channel last week and speculated that the troubled legendary golfer was trying to dodge justice with it.
“As soon as he rolled the car and got out of it, and the cops were there, he called the president. Which is a douche move, I think,” Kelly said Friday on her “Megyn Kelly Show.”
“It’s very clear he called to try to get out of this somehow,” she said of Woods, a 50-year-old dad of two.
“I’m gonna go with Tiger called him and asked for some help because he knew this was gonna be a PR disaster,” Kelly said, later speculating that police let Woods traipse about the accident scene because of his stardom.
Woods – who is dating the president’s ex-daughter-in-law — reportedly gave the president a call as his black Range Rover was still lying on its side after he rolled it while allegedly under the influence of painkillers on March 27.
Bodycam footage from the arrest showed Woods on the phone and then nonchalantly telling a sheriff’s deputy, “Yeah, I was just talking with the president.”
Woods was heard saying in footage of the call, “Thank you so much.
“All right. You got it. Bye.”
Woods then took a field sobriety test and failed, admitting he’d taken “a few pills” on the day of the crash.
He had been trying to pass a pickup truck pulling a trailer on Jupiter Island – crossing double yellow lines – when he allegedly clipped the vehicle and sent his Range Rover SUV spilling onto the median.
Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI. It was his second arrest for the charge on Jupiter Island in the past decade.
A pair of hydrocodone pain pills were found in Woods’ pocket after the wreck, according to a police report.
He told police he was “looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station” at the time of the crash and later refused a urinalysis test.
Woods blew a negative on a Breathalyzer test for alcohol but still showed “signs of impairment” after the accident, according to police.
Trump – a golf fanatic – and Woods have been pals for years, with the president notably awarding Tiger the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019.
Woods’ girlfriend Vanessa – the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. and mother to five of the president’s grandkids – has publicly stood by the golf star since the accident.
Woods released a statement March 31 saying he was “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.”
