Kevin Kisner, a PGA Tour golfer who is Tiger Woods’ teammate in The Golf League, expressed concern for the golf legend following his DUI arrest in Florida on Friday.
Kisner opened up about the incident while in the booth for NBC’s coverage of the Houston Open on Saturday.
“Very disturbing. He was working really hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape,” he said, via Fried Egg Golf. “He signed up for the US Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do everything he could to come back and try to help our TGL team, get ready, hopefully try to play the Masters.

“Just a really unfortunate incident, I think Brad (Faxon), the only positive thing is that no one was hurt in the incident and we can all move on and hopefully help him get better.”
Woods returned to the Golf League for his first round of real competition since undergoing multiple back surgeries to repair a torn Achilles.
On Friday, Woods was involved in a crash on Jupiter Island. He was subsequently arrested after he refused to provide a urine sample. He was released from the Martin County Jail late Friday.
In his booking photo, Woods’ eyes looked bloodshot as he wore a blue polo shirt. Woods was seen leaving the jail in the passenger seat of a black SUV after his release on bail late Friday, according to The Associated Press.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at a news conference that Woods was driving at a “high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, resulting in his vehicle flipping onto its driver’s side.
Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zeroes” for alcohol but refused the urine test.
“DUI investigators came to the scene here and Mr. Woods exemplified signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course he explained the injuries and the surgeries he had. We took that into consideration, but they did some in-depth roadside testing,” Budensiek added.
“We really didn’t suspect alcohol was involved in this case, and it turned out to be true at the jail. . . . But when it came time for us to ask for a urine test, he refused. And so he’s been charged with DUI, damage to property and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
Woods was seen on the phone after the crash, wearing navy blue shorts.
He has not commented on his arrest since the incident.
