At 90 years young, golf legend Gary Player still believes he could get behind the wheel, but he chooses not to. Following his ceremonial tee shot at the Masters alongside Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, Player offered some blunt, caring advice for his neighbor and fellow icon, Tiger Woods: it's time to hire a chauffeur.

Player's comments come in the wake of Woods' recent arrest in late March following a two-vehicle crash in Jupiter Island. Woods is facing charges of DUI with property damage after authorities found hydrocodone, a potent opioid painkiller, in his possession. While expressing deep sympathy for the chronic pain Woods endures, Player was clear about the risks of mixing medication and driving.

"When you're taking that medicine, it's dangerous," Player stated, drawing a parallel to the peril of distracted driving. "So I think all he's got to do is just not drive a car and get a chauffeur... I think that's the answer to it."

This incident marks another challenging chapter for Woods, who has faced serious vehicle crashes and DUI charges in recent years. Player, who lives near Woods, was quick to defend his use of medication for pain and sleep deprivation stemming from his numerous injuries. "Do I blame him for taking medicine? Hell, no," Player said. "If I or any of you in this room had the pain that Tiger Woods had, think of the excruciating pain that this man has been going through."

Ultimately, Player's message was one of concern and hope for one of golf's greatest assets. "My heart goes out for him... I just hope he can get it all sorted out because he's such an asset to golf and has done so much for the game." It's a reminder of the immense physical toll a legendary career can take, and the importance of safety on and off the course.
