Tiger Woods Raises Health Concerns After Viral Video From Charity Poker Event

A video of Tiger Woods at his char­i­ty pok­er event in Las Vegas sparked wor­ries among fans about his health and well­be­ing. In the clip shared by pok­er pro Phil Hell­muth, Woods appears lethar­gic and glassy-eyed while answer­ing questions.

Some fans on social media ques­tioned if Woods seemed intox­i­cat­ed or impaired. Oth­ers leapt to his defense, insist­ing he was just enjoy­ing him­self at a late night event in Vegas. It comes after Woods’ high-pro­file car crash­es and past issues with painkillers.

Woods dis­cussed the suc­cess of his TGR Foun­da­tion at the pok­er tour­na­ment, which has raised $22 mil­lion for edu­ca­tion pro­grams since 1998. But his demeanor and behav­ior in the video con­trast­ed with his usu­al­ly sharp appear­ance, renew­ing con­cerns about the 15-time major winner.

Woods has with­drawn from upcom­ing events to con­tin­ue recov­er­ing from leg injuries sus­tained in his 2021 car acci­dent. This recent video clip from Vegas under­scores the wor­ries from fans about his long-term health as he tries to return to com­pet­i­tive golf.
