Whoopi Goldberg is showing support for her friend Tiger Woodsfollowing his recent DUI arrest in Florida.
On a Wednesday, April 1 episode of The View, Goldberg offered words of support to the professional golfer. She remarked that others are "not as compassionate" to Woods following his arrest.
“Tiger is a friend of mine, and I wish him nothing but the best," she said. "I don’t like kicking a man when he’s down. I’ll leave that to other folks."
Woods was arrested on Friday, March 27 after a rollover crash and charged with a DUI. Martin County Sheriff's Office deputies found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pants pocket.
Goldberg's co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and guest host Whitney Cummings, also weighed in on Woods' arrest in the episode.
"I’m not excusing the fact that he was driving while under the influence, but I think we need to show someone who is a sports legend, who may have been pushed very hard as a child, and have some grace for the pain he’s living with and the fact that, as an athlete," said Hostin. "He is now having to struggle with the fact that he may have to give up the one thing he loves to do."
Behar then asked why Woods had not just hired a driver to which Goldberg responded, "Well, why is he always being driven around?’ You can’t win."
On Tuesday, March 31 Woods announced on X that he will be stepping away from gold professionally to focus on his health.
"I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health," Woods wrote. "This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery."
He added, "I'm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time."
