Tiger Woods said he was 'talking to president,' footage says

[Auggie]

After crashing his SUV last week in Florida, Tiger Woods took out his phone and told a deputy, "I was just talking to the president," according to body camera footage released Thursday showing the golfer's arrest on a DUI charge.

The phone conversation was not captured on video, but Woods could be heard saying, "Thank you so much," as he hung up and the deputy approached. It wasn't clear if Woods was referring to President Donald Trump, whose former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, is dating Woods.

Shortly after the golfer's March 27 arrest, Trump was asked about Woods and told reporters: "I feel so badly. He's got some difficulty. Very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person. Amazing man. But some difficulty."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Trump spoke to Woods after the crash.
