Tiger Woods' girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, has spoken out following the legendary golfer's latest arrest.
The 48-year-old took to Instagram on Saturday (28 Mar), where she shared her first post since Woods was taken into custody by Florida police.
According to police reports, the golfing legend, 50, had been involved in an incident in Jupiter Island, Florida, the day prior (27 Mar), whereby he'd attempted to overtake a truck and trailer at considerable speed.
Woods is said to have struck the rear of the tow vehicle, causing his SUV to flip before landing on its side. Officers claim the sportsman refused to provide a urine sample after climbing out of the passenger window.

Returning to social media over the weekend, Vanessa opted to brush over the incident entirely, focusing instead on her daughter, Kai, 17.
One of the two Instagram stories the former model shared featured her teenage daughter at the Miami Open tennis tournament, where she could be seen posing alongside champion Aryna Sabalenka.
Another saw aspiring golfer Kai, Donald Trump's eldest grandchild, standing proudly beside Belarusian star Sabalenka's coach, Jason Stacy, and the youth golf professional, Allan Kournikova.
A second post was a video of Kai doing a Q&A with fans on Instagram, where she credited her mother for introducing her to golf.
Later that day, the youngster had watched the women's final at the Hard Rock Stadium, between Sabalenka and America's Coco Gauff.
Vanessa's relationship with Woods was made public back in November 2024. She'd previously been married to the President's eldest son, 48-year-old Donald Jr, for 13 years.
According to reports, Woods registered 'triple zeros' on a breathalyser test taken on the scene on Friday, which indicates no alcohol was within his system at the time of the incident.
He has since been charged with driving under the influence, as well as property damage, and refusing to submit to a lawful test.
Sheriff John Budensiek told the press on Friday: "He is cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself, so he was careful in what he said and didn't say."
The officer added: "We will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash."
In his mugshot, shared by arresting officers around 10pm local time, Woods could be seen sporting visibly bloodshot eyes.
The athlete was released on bond an hour later.
Woods was first arrested for DUI in 2017, after he was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car by Florida police.
Subsequent tests found that the golfer had five different drugs in his system at the time, including two painkillers.
He was also involved in a serious single-vehicle accident in 2021, which caused Woods to become trapped beneath his car.
The PGA Tour champ sustained devastating injuries to his right leg, which required several surgeries.
