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.”

Of course, as we previously reported, Trump remarked on Woods' crash from a tarmac next to Air Force 1 before news broke that Tiger had been arrested.

“I feel so bad. He's got some difficulty -- there was an accident, and that's all I know,” Trump said at the time. “A very close friend of mine, he's an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don't want to talk about it.”

After returning to where the officer and Tiger's manager were standing, Woods announced that Trump was “very apologetic for what he did last night.”

That is likely in reference to Trump appearing on FOX News' "The Five" the day before and saying Tiger would NOT play in the 2026 Masters Tournament -- days after Woods left the door open on a potential return.

Woods is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr.

Trump and Woods have a long history -- the two have played golf together for years and have publicly praised each other.
