Augusta National chairman reveals Tiger Woods' Masters status after DUI arrest

OutKick founder Clay Travis dissects Tiger Woods' statement after his DUI arrest and addresses his alleged painkiller use on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

Tiger Woods will not be at the Masters next weekend after he was charged with DUI following a rollover crash last week, Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said Tuesday.

Woods pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the crash and his subsequent arrest. Ridley released a statement later, revealing Woods would not be in Georgia for the event.

"Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament fully support Tiger Woods as he focuses on his well-being," Ridley said. "Although Tiger will not be joining us in person next week, his presence will be felt here in Augusta."

There was a chance that Woods was angling to compete in the Masters as he returned to competition in The Golf League days before his crash. However, the wreck in Jupiter Island, Florida, led to driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a blood alcohol level (BAL) test charges.

Woods told law enforcement officers that he was distracted prior to the crash, according to an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. The affidavit also said that a search of Woods yielded two hydrocodone pills in his pant pocket.

He submitted to a Breathalyzer test after being booked in Martin County Jail, clearing a 0.00 result on both samples. However, he declined to submit a urine test, which resulted in another charge.
