Tiger Woods called President Donald Trump in the moments after his shocking car crash in Florida , new bombshell footage appears to show. The golf legend was arrested after rolling his SUV on Friday while attempting to overtake a vehicle at high speed, before cops found two opioid pills in his pocket and put him behind bars. He was hit with several charges including driving under the influence. Now, newly-released bodycam footage shows Woods making a phone call and then telling police: ' I was just talking with the President.'

Tiger Woods’ Phone Call with Trump Draws Attention 

In the clip, the golf icon - who is dating Trump's former daughter-in-law, Vanessa -can be seen in the distance as a police officer repeatedly calls after him. The cop approaches Woods, urging him to return. The 15-time major champion appears to be speaking on the phone when the officer tells him: 'We'll get you to hang down here with us, please.' A few moments later, Woods can be heard ending his conversation as he approaches the police. 'Thank you so much - all right, you got it, thank you, bye,' the 50-year-old says. Woods, who has a close relationship with Trump and was awarded the Medal of Freedom during his first term, then tells police: 'I was just talking with the president.'

On Tuesday, Trump revealed he had spoken to Woods following his DUI arrest. 'I think he's doing great, he's doing good,' the president said. His comments came after it emerged that a breathalyzer test had shown no signs of alcohol but that Woods had two loose opioid pills in his pocket when he was searched by police officers at the scene. 'He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments... the back and the leg,' Trump said. 'He lives a life of pain. He has a lot of pain. He's an amazing guy. He's an amazing athlete. He does have pain. He doesn't have an alcohol problem, but he does have pain.'

Bodycam Footage Reveals Unusual Exchange with Police 

Later in the clip, the golf star wanders back past the police car and begins speaking to man identified by TMZ as his manager. Their conversation is difficult to make out but at one point, TMZ reports , Woods claims the president was 'very apologetic for what he did last night.' TMZ reports that the golf star is likely referring to Trump's appearance on 'The Five' the night before, when he announced Woods would not play at the Masters. In the bodycam footage, meanwhile, the golf star then takes a small container out of his shorts pocket. 'No, nothing in your mouth, please,' an officer tells him as he appears to put something towards his lips. Woods then takes out a small tube of chapstick and appears to ask: 'Am I allowed a lick of this?'

The cop replies: 'Right now, no. It's humid outside, you don't need lip balm.' Woods is not handcuffed in the video, which appears to have been filmed before he was put through a field sobriety test. Trump last week spoke about Woods' struggles, telling reporters: ' I feel so bad. He's got some difficulty - there was an accident, and that's all I know.' The president added: '[He is] a very close friend of mine, he's an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don't want to talk about it.' This latest footage emerged on Thursday evening, just hours after more video showed a dazed Woods kneeling at the side of the road and falling asleep in the back of a cop car following his latest DUI arrest.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office released a clip of the moment cops found him lethargic, sweaty and unsteady at the side of the street, as well as a 17-minute video of Woods being transported to jail. In the footage of him in the back seat of the cop car, Woods can be seen yawning wildly, struggling to contain a bout of hiccups, and briefly falling asleep, all while remaining completely silent. In the initial clip of him at the roadside, recorded by the arresting officer's bodycam, Woods can be heard explaining how the crash occurred. 'I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden... boom!' Woods tells the officer, explaining the moment he clipped the back of a pressure washer trailer and rolled his Range Rover onto its side.

He is kneeling on the grass verge as medical checks are performed on him, and an officer can be heard asking 'is this comfortable for you?', to which he replies: 'Yeah, yeah.' The officer then walks away from the golfer, showing his upturned vehicle and the driver of the truck and trailer being interviewed by a different cop on the quiet Jupiter Island street. Woods' arrest affidavit was released on Wednesday, in which cops revealed how he had told them he was 'looking down at this cell phone and changing the radio station' when the crash occurred. When officers searched Woods, they discovered two white pills inside the left pocket of his trousers. They were marked 'M367', which is hydrocodone and is used to treat severe or chronic pain. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, opioids are 'highly addictive'.

The 15-time major winner's eyes were also said to be 'bloodshot and glassy' and his pupils were 'extremely dilated'. When asked if he is currently taking any prescription medication, Woods replied: 'I take a few'. It comes after the Daily Mail first reported that Woods' refusal to provide a urine sample at the scene was likely because he had taken heavy doses of prescription opioids from his repeated injuries. Woods, who has been involved in multiple other crashes over the years, was charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. The affidavit says Woods was 'limping and stumbling' during a field sobriety test. After completing a number of exercises, Woods was deemed unfit to be driving his car.

He had been traveling at 'high speeds' on a residential road and after the crash showed 'signs of impairment,' Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said, adding that investigators believe he had taken some kind of medication or drug. He described Woods as lethargic and said he agreed to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and was arrested. Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-lane road with a 30mph speed limit. He said authorities could not determine how fast Woods was going. The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck but clipped the back end of the truck's trailer, Budensiek said. Woods' car then rolled onto its driver's side and he crawled out. The sheriff said Woods was 'cooperative, but [was] not trying to incriminate himself.'

He said Woods has the right to refuse the urine test and that authorities 'will never get definitive results with what he was impaired on.' This was the fourth time Woods has been involved in a car crash. In February 2021, his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation. He also previously sustained multiple injuries to his left knee and his back during his golf career. It is the second time Woods has been arrested for a DUI not as a result of the influence of alcohol. He said he took a bad mix of painkillers when authorities found him in 2017 asleep behind the wheel of his car, the engine still running and its driver's side damaged. Woods pleaded guilty then to reckless driving.
