When asked about the plea deal in the Oval Office, Trump expressed his knowledge of Woods and described him as "a great guy." He acknowledged Woods' ongoing pain issues, stating, "He suffers great pain.
It's a very tough situation because they didn't find alcohol on him; he didn't test positive at all for alcohol." Trump believed the plea deal was fair, given Woods' back problems.
