Former Masters champion Gary Player expressed sympathy for Tiger Woods' pain but strongly advised him to hire a chauffeur after his DUI arrest. Player, speaking at the Masters, stated Woods should not drive while medicated for his injuries. Woods, 51, faces charges including misdemeanor DUI and distracted driving after his SUV crashed in Florida.

He announced stepping away from golf and PGA Tour roles on March 31 to seek inpatient treatment, reportedly at a facility in Switzerland. Player said, 'My heart goes out for him,' emphasizing Woods' value to golf. Six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus echoed support, saying golf needs Woods back.

Prosecutors plan to subpoena Woods' prescription records.
