Kevin Kisner Breaks Silence on Tiger Woods’ DUI Arrest, Reveals Where He Stands

After Tiger Woods’ latest DUI arrest, teammate Kevin Kisner broke his silence on NBC, calling it very disturbing and noting Woods had been grinding to return, even entering the U.S. Senior Open a day earlier.

So, Tiger Woods is back in the headlines, and not for golf. After his latest DUI arrest, one of his teammates is speaking up, the golf world is split on what comes next, and the details of what actually happened on Friday are... complicated.

What happened Friday in Florida

Woods, 50, was arrested Friday afternoon in Florida after a rollover car crash. Police charged him with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit a lawful test. He was booked, spent about eight hours in jail, and was released around 11 p.m. ET the same night.

Here is where the medical/legal side gets messy: according to authorities, Woods refused a urinalysis at the scene but did take a breathalyzer, which came back triple zeros. So, no alcohol. Police allege he was under the influence of drugs, not alcohol.

• Arrest: Friday, March 27, after a rollover crash in Florida
• Charges: DUI, property damage, refusal to submit a lawful test
• Testing: Refused urine test; breathalyzer was 0.000
• Custody: Roughly 8 hours in jail; released around 11 p.m. ET

His TGL teammate breaks his silence

Kevin Kisner, who teams with Woods on Jupiter Links Golf Club in the TGL indoor golf league, called the situation "very disturbing" on NBC on Saturday, March 28. He said Woods had been grinding to get back in shape, practicing, and even signed up for the U.S. Senior Open the day before. Kisner added that Woods was trying to do whatever he could to help their TGL team get ready and, yes, maybe take a swing at the Masters if things lined up.

Kisner called the crash and arrest an unfortunate setback but emphasized the only good news: no one was hurt. His hope now is that everyone moves forward and helps Woods get better.

Broadcast booth reaction: support and concern

On the same NBC show, PGA pro-turned-analyst Brad Faxon backed the supportive tone. He pointed out the obvious: Tiger still moves the needle in golf more than anyone. Faxon said that in their area around Jupiter, word travels fast when Woods shows up to play or practice, and there had been chatter that he was working at his home club and possibly angling for a Masters appearance. Fans were hoping. Now it is a wait-and-see.

The blunt take: time to retire?

Not everyone is in the wait-and-see camp. On Friday, March 27, Golf Central analyst Brandel Chamblee flat-out questioned whether Woods should keep playing at all, arguing that the cost to his body keeps compounding and that the pain, surgeries, and prescriptions can spiral.

"Why would he need to play golf anymore?"

Chamblee laid out the pattern as he sees it: Tiger pushes beyond his physical limits, gets hurt, needs surgery, which can lead to prescribed pain meds, and over time that becomes its own risk. It was a stark contrast to the more supportive tone from Kisner and Faxon.

Where this leaves the Masters, the U.S. Senior Open, and TGL

Kisner says Woods had just registered for the U.S. Senior Open on Friday. There had also been local buzz about him gearing up in Jupiter and maybe trying to make the Masters. After the crash and arrest, all of that is suddenly in doubt. For now, the facts are straightforward: no injuries in the accident, legal trouble to sort out, and a teammate hoping Tiger can reset and come back. Whether that comeback includes the Masters, the Senior Open, or even more TGL swings is the big question hanging over everything.
