The aftermath of Tiger Woods’ recent DUI arrest continues to ripple through the golf world. With all the elites coming to play the 2026 Masters, it was the right time for the media to pick their minds on the situation. So, one reporter tried to get something out of Jon Rahm. Speaking ahead of the practice round, the Spaniard struck a careful and respectful tone with a hint about the Big Cat’s return.
“There’s a lot of players in this field that we’re very close to him. I haven’t had the time to talk to them. And quite frankly, I don’t know if this will be the week to do so. They have enough going on this week with the Masters and a friend needing some help that I don’t know if it’s the right time. So I, I haven’t had any conversations with anyone about it,” Rahm said during the 2026 Masters interview.
“All I can hope is that he gets the help that he can get, and he can come back in a better position after that. I mean, he is arguably the king of comebacks. So if there’s somebody that has the mental strength to come back from an issue like that, it would be him. And I’m confident that he has enough people in Florida, enough golfers for sure, supporting him on that as well.”
Woods was arrested on March 27 following a single-vehicle crash in Florida. Although he passed a breathalyzer test, authorities cited signs of impairment. Since he refused to undergo a urine test, he was arrested and held in jail for 8 hours. He has now stepped away to focus on his health and come back stronger. Thus, he won’t be at the Augusta National to play or watch the 2026 Masters.
It is a very intense situation that has divided the golf world into two. Some are supporting Tiger Woods, while others are criticizing him and asking him to take responsibility.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Rahm expressed optimism. He pointed to his mental strength and the strong support system around him.
