Fresh concerns have emerged around Tiger Woods.
The golf icon is once again under scrutiny after details surfaced about his habits behind the wheel.
Privacy concerns
Tiger Woods has declined to hire a personal driver, despite past accidents and a recent arrest, a source told PEOPLE.
The insider said the golfer “doesn’t want anyone to watch over him or know what he is doing,” adding that Woods believes he is capable of driving himself.
The comments come after Woods, 50, was arrested in Florida on March 27.
Recent incident
Authorities charged Woods with DUI involving property damage and refusal to take a lawful test following a rollover crash.
The incident involved his Land Rover and a truck towing a trailer, according to local officials cited by PEOPLE.
Police said Woods showed signs of impairment, though tests later indicated no alcohol in his system.
This is not the first time Woods has faced issues related to driving.
He was involved in a serious crash in 2021 that left him with significant injuries, as well as an earlier incident in 2009.
In 2017, he was also charged with DUI after being found asleep in his car.
Life away from spotlight
The source told PEOPLE that Woods prefers a quiet lifestyle and avoids public attention.
“He is not a social butterfly and prefers to hang around his home with his kids, or hitting balls, or playing video games,” the source said.
“He despises public scrutiny.”
Woods shares two children, Sam and Charlie, with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren.
He is currently in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, who, according to the source, has adapted easily to his lifestyle.
