ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith delivered a sharp rebuke of Tiger Woods following the golfer’s recent arrest on multiple charges tied to a rollover crash in Florida, as reported by Fox News.

Woods was taken into custody last week and charged with driving under the influence with property damage, as well as refusing to submit to a blood alcohol level test. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. In the aftermath, Woods announced he would step away from golf to “seek treatment.”

Smith addressed the situation during an appearance on “First Take” on Wednesday, responding to reports that Woods had concerns about privacy and therefore chose not to hire a driver. The report was previously published by People.

“We don’t give a damn about his privacy. We don’t care right now. You’ve been behind the wheel of a vehicle inebriated three times. Ain’t nobody trying to know all your business. What we want to know is you ain’t gonna get behind the wheel of a damn car when you’re inebriated. You’re lucky you didn’t kill somebody. That’s what we want to hear. Nothing else is our business. Nothing else is our business.”

The arrest marks the second time in the last decade that Woods has faced DUI-related charges. In 2017, he was arrested on Jupiter Island after being found asleep behind the wheel of a running vehicle at approximately 3 a.m.

That incident involved prescription drugs.

Woods was also involved in a separate 2021 rollover crash in Los Angeles that left him with serious leg injuries requiring emergency surgeries.

During field sobriety tests tied to the most recent incident, Woods referenced those injuries. Authorities at the time of the 2021 crash reported finding an empty, unlabeled pill bottle in his vehicle, though no charges were filed in that case.

According to a police affidavit related to last week’s incident, Woods was found with two hydrocodone pills in his pants pocket during the crash investigation.

Smith continued to question Woods’ decision-making, particularly his refusal to hire a driver.

“Damn that privacy. I don’t give a damn what you’re worried about. You must have a very highly suspect life that you, as a billionaire, don’t even want to hire a driver,” Smith continued.

“Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong with that. You want your privacy. Privacy from what? What’s the driver gonna do? ‘Cus he dropped you off some place he don’t know where he dropped you off? I mean, damn, what are you trying to hide? It’s a rhetorical question because I don’t care. And none of us should care. It’s not our business. What is our business is you staying away from being behind the wheel of a vehicle when you’re inebriated of whatever drug it is.”

Woods, in his public statement, said he was committed to improving his condition and taking time away from golf to focus on recovery.

He said he intended to return to a “healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally.”

Smith, however, emphasized that Woods’ past incidents remain a concern.

“This is three times, three, that he has been caught by law enforcement behind the wheel of a vehicle inebriated,” Smith added.

“Bump your statements. We don’t care. We don’t care. What we care to hear from you is that we don’t have to worry about you being behind the wheel of a vehicle inebriated again. That’s it.”

“Go ahead and get better. You understand? And live your life. And be at peace, man. Ain’t nobody wishing any harm upon you. But what you did, potentially harmed somebody else. You’re lucky you didn’t kill somebody, if not yourself.”
