In the time between Tiger Woods flipping his car and being arrested for DUI, the golf legend dialed up President Donald Trump from the scene of the crash.

TMZ Sports has obtained body cam footage that shows Tiger hanging around as cops assessed the scene. He was not cuffed at the time and was permitted to sit in a police cruiser before cops had him perform a field sobriety test.

At one point, Tiger walked away from the cruiser and into the distance ... forcing police to call him back to the scene. While Tiger is walking back, he appears to be on the phone and can be heard saying, “Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye.”

The officer then asked Tiger to remain close by … to which he replied: “Yeah, I was just talking with the President.”

The victim in the Tiger Woods crash has lawyered up ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The notice of appearance and invocation of rights were filed in Florida on Thursday ... showing Jeromy Bullard will be represented by Jason Fagnano, a personal injury attorney who specializes in auto, truck, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents.

The development now allows Bullard to be represented in the criminal case ... and makes sure his rights are protected every step of the way. It doesn't necessarily mean he's suing Woods.

Tiger Woods was clearly planning to make a comeback at The Masters prior to his DUI arrest -- something he told an officer right at the crash scene last week.

TMZ Sports obtained body cam footage of the exchange with responders on March 27 in Florida ... when one asked Woods if he needed anything from his flipped Range Rover.

Woods said he wanted his clubs ... and they joked about his famed putter that he made sure to note he's used to win all his majors.

4/3 6:38 PM PT -- The law firm representing Kerron Swift, The X-Law Group P.C., released a statement to TMZ Sports Friday afternoon … denying the claim from Wilder’s attorney that the filing of this suit had anything to do with his scheduled fight tomorrow.

“This firm made repeated attempts over several weeks to reach Mr. Wilder's legal counsel — including Mr. Patterson — before filing this action. Those efforts went unanswered. Filing was not our first choice. It was our last. The statute of limitations in this matter expires on April 20, 2025. After weeks of silence from the other side, despite repeated follow-ups, we had no legal alternative but to file in order to protect our client's rights."

“If the timing of this lawsuit is ‘suspicious,’ as Mr. Patterson claims, the explanation is simple: his own failure to respond forced our hand.”

They also noted that they “filed this action quietly and without a press release — the opposite of what we would have done if the intent were to generate publicity.”

“This case is not about boxing. It is not about public image or fight week. It is about the physical abuse of a child over a sustained period of time. Our client deserves to have that heard, and we intend to see that it is.”

Deontay Wilder was just hit with explosive allegations outside the ring … with a new lawsuit accusing the former heavyweight champ of repeatedly beating a minor over several years ... but the boxer's attorney is calling the claims not only untrue, but "suspicious."

TMZ Sports has obtained court documents where Wilder is accused by Kerron Swift -- son of his ex-fiancée Telli Swift -- of brutally attacking him while he was living under the Bronze Bomber's roof as a kid.

Swift alleges the abuse stretched from around 2016 through 2024 … and paints a disturbing picture of life inside the household.

IShowSpeed is going to need to find himself a new streaming arrangement ... 'cause the social media sensation just got thrown through his setup by WWE Superstar L.A. Knight -- all while he was live!!

It all went down on Thursday while Speed was doing a no-laughing stream when the former United States Champion pulled up on him at his pad.

For those not in the wrestling world, Speed found himself in some hot water after he knocked out Knight during "Monday Night RAW" this week -- and then accidentally helped Logan Paul and Austin Theory win the World Tag Team Champions.

First it was Tiger Woods, now Phil Mickelson announced he will not be competing for a green jacket this year -- Lefty revealed he's taking some time away as his family deals with a "personal health matter."

The three-time Masters winner stated minutes ago he won't be going for a fourth in 2026 ... days after Tiger shared his own update following a DUI arrest.

That means two of the biggest and most beloved figures in the sport will be MIA next week.

"Unfortunately, I will not play in the Masters Tournament next week and will be out for an extended period of time as my family continues to navigate a personal health matter," Mickelson said.

Tiger Woods might be going international for rehab after his DUI arrest, but that doesn't mean his business ventures are taking a break ... 'cause his clothing brand is still promoting product nearly a week after his latest legal troubles.

Sun Day Red, the brand Tiger and TaylorMade launched in 2024, tweeted Thursday morning about the "colors of springtime in Georgia" -- telling supporters to hit the shop and get their fit for next week's Masters event secured, even though Woods himself will not be present at the tournament.

Of course, there were some trolls in the comments about the timing of the post, especially since Woods was booked on two misdemeanor charges -- to which he pleaded not guilty -- and the body cam footage was released around the same time as the ad.

Tiger Woods isn't only dealing with a DUI charge after his rollover accident and arrest on Friday ... TMZ Sports has learned the golf legend has also been hit with a citation for careless driving.

The ticket was filed in Martin County on Thursday -- a non-criminal traffic violation -- and carries a fine of $163.

The citation was filed the same day authorities released body camera footage from the rollover accident scene, where the golf legend was seen kneeling just feet from his Range Rover, telling law enforcement that he "looked down" at his phone, and "all of a sudden -- boom."

Trevor Bauer is back on a U.S. mound … just not the one he used to dominate.

The former Cy Young winner has signed a deal with the Long Island Ducks -- an independent league club -- in what looks like his latest bid to claw his way back to Major League Baseball after years of controversy kept him sidelined.

Bauer, now 35, is expected to take the ball as the Ducks’ Opening Day starter on April 21 … but here’s the twist: he’ll be mic’d up the entire time -- turning every pitch and dugout convo into content for social media.

This isn’t your typical comeback tour -- it’s baseball meets reality TV.

The Washington Wizards are apologizing for an April Fools' prank that left folks more pissed than amused ... claiming everyone involved in the skit knew it was staged.

The team made it seem as if a random fan named Jackson had a chance at winning $10K during a break in the action Wednesday night -- all he had to do was nail a half-court shot while blindfolded.

Unfortunately for him, he missed -- but the MC and the mascots all acted like he drilled the shot ... and Jackson seemed pretty convinced.

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos might've had a nasty breakup a month before their wedding, but they're a united front when it comes to their kids -- TMZ Sports is told both sides are amicably handling their custody arrangements following the split.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback initially filed a suit affecting the Parent-Child Relationship in Collin County, Texas last month ... and a request for a temporary orders hearing was slated for 8 AM on Thursday.

That hearing was ultimately pushed back as Prescott and Ramos try to work through it themselves and outside of court ... and we're told talks have remained peaceful and productive.

Officials have released the body cam footage from Tiger Woods' DUI ... showing the golf legend getting placed in handcuffs after several field sobriety tests.

The video shows responders checking on Woods as they got to the scene ... and he insisted he was fine.

"I looked down at my phone ... and all of a sudden -- boom," Woods explained.

It sure sounds like it, but this is no April Fools' Day joke -- J. Cole signed with a Chinese Basketball Association team on Wednesday ... and wasted no time getting to work.

The award-winning rapper inked a deal with the Nanjing Monkey Kings, according to ESPN's Shams Charania ... and dropped his first video on Doyin, a Chinese short video-sharing platform, saying he was "excited" to be in the vicinity.

He was also caught on video at the Monkey Kings' practice ... doing drills and going through pre-game warm-ups, while fans showed him plenty of love -- high-fiving J. Cole as he made his way into the arena.

Jaden Ivey's wife, Caitlyn, is breaking her silence after the former Bulls player claimed she cut off communication after Chicago released him following his anti-Pride comments ... disputing what she calls a "lie" from her husband.

"We were communicating all morning of that day," she wrote on Instagram. "People say things for attention, do not be deceived."

The drama between the couple started the day after the Bulls cut Ivey loose, when he revealed, "my wife in here, and she not even texting me."

Forget peanuts and Cracker Jack … this ballgame came with a rocket launch that completely stole the show.

Fans packed into an in-state softball game between Florida and Stetson on Wednesday evening suddenly ditched the diamond and looked skyward … as Artemis II blasted off from Kennedy Space Center, just about an hour away.

The game actually paused as thousands of spectators pulled out their phones, capturing the surreal moment a rocket carrying four astronauts lit up the night sky on its 10-day trip around the moon.

For a few minutes, nobody cared about the score.

Congrats are in order for Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen -- the couple has welcomed their first baby into the world ... and it's a girl!!

Hailee shared the news on her newsletter, revealing they welcomed their bundle of joy recently ... and they couldn't be happier.

Her statement was short and sweet ... after announcing their baby girl had arrived, she added, "We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes."
