Tiger Woods has sparked concerns among golf fans as a clip from his charity poker event in Las Vegas went viral on social media.
Last week, professional poker player Phil Hellmuth shared footage of the 15-time major champion at his annual Tiger Jam event on X, praising the TGR Foundation for raising $22 million since 1998.
The foundation’s mission is to “empower kids to pursue their passions through education.”
One of the event’s highlights is Tiger’s Poker Night, attracting A-list celebrities and well-known figures in the poker world.
Hellmuth, who has won a record seventeen World Series of Poker bracelets, encountered Woods and popular Twitch streamer Ninja at one point, discussing some of the foundation’s accomplishments.
In the clip, Woods appeared to slur his words while speaking about the success stories of kids benefiting from his foundation.
“All of a sudden they’re in college flourishing,” he said. “Going to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Yale and going to amazing places doing amazing things.”

The clip raised eyebrows among golf fans, with some suggesting on X that the Hall of Fame golfer might have had a few drinks.
Woods has had several run-ins with the law related to alcohol and drug consumption in the past.
In 2017, he was arrested near his home in Jupiter Island, Florida, for driving under the influence.
At the time, he was found asleep in his stationary car with the engine running.
He eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving, receiving a year’s probation, a $250 fine, mandatory 50 hours of community service, and regular drug tests.
During his probation, he was prohibited from drinking alcohol, with a potential 90-day jail sentence and additional $500 fine for any violations.
In 2009, Woods was prescribed Ambien and Vicodin when he famously crashed his car outside his Windermere, Florida, home while allegedly having an extramarital affair.
Local police did not press charges after the incident.
Woods attributed both incidents to prescribed medications, not alcohol, at the time.
