Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods shouldn't shoulder all the blame for turning over his SUV in a residential area and being arrested on a second DUI charge since 2017. The "golf people" in his life should take some accountability as well, according to Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo.Russo unleashed his out-of-touch opinion during Wednesday's edition of ESPN's ‘First Take,’ and went as far as to mention PGA Tour star and close friend of Woods, Justin Thomas, by name."I’m going to blame the golf people here too," Russo explained. "Justin Thomas is his best friend. A lot of these golfers, you know, 'I adore Tiger.'""How about somebody in the last 15 years say, ‘Tiger, enough of this nonsense.’ OK, instead of genuflecting in front of Tiger, because he’s an all-time great golfer, and you don’t want to get on Tiger’s bad side, how about somebody in the sport in the last 10 years put a stop to this, take the keys away?"Anyone with a functioning brain agrees that Woods opting to drive himself around all these years and not hire a personal driver is borderline insane. Having said that, if you don't think he's been told by countless people inside his tight-knit circle that he should stop driving, you're not living in reality.We're talking about a man who was charged with a DUI in 2017, who told arresting officers he believed he had been golfing in California that day, despite being in Jupiter, Florida. It's fair to assume folks in his life told him it was time to hang up the keys.Then came the single-car crash in 2021, where Woods was lucky not to lose one of his legs, let alone survive the crash. At that point, his family and friends had to be begging him to stop putting himself behind the wheel.READ: Tiger Woods Arrest Affidavit Reveals Pills, Trouble With Sobriety TestsThis leads to another aspect in all of this that leads you to believe that Woods truly does live this recluse-like life. It's no secret his personal circle is an incredibly tight one, but any assumption that he's surrounding himself with people 24/7 feels out of touch. It's incredibly hard to believe that Justin Thomas or anyone else we deem a close friend to Woods is spending an exorbitant amount of time with him off the golf course, talking about everyday life and whether he should drive his vehicle.Russo is by no means the only one who shares the opinion that the people in Woods' life should feel guilt, but he is the only one who shouted about it in the manner he did on national television.
