A comment about injury-plagued Tiger Woods by announcer Mark Roe has raised eyebrows during the first round of the Open Championship in Scotland.
'You look at the eyes, you gotta think there's a lot of painkillers being taken to cope with the pain,' Roe said while announcing The Open's featured groups on Thursday.
It's unclear if Roe was referencing Woods' battle with pain medication, which resulted in his 2017 DUI charge. A subsequent toxicology report found painkillers, sleep medication and an ingredient active in marijuana in his system at the time of his arrest.
Woods ultimately avoided a DUI conviction by agreeing to enter a diversion program.
Naturally, Roe's comment was not well received.
