Former NFL star Emmanuel Acho is telling Tiger Woods to grow up after the golf great’s latest DUI arrest.
The retired linebacker called Woods out on Sunday night during his “Speakeasy” sports talk show.
“Tiger, you got too many responsibilities, too much money, too much wisdom, and too many gray hairs to, at this big age, in this big year of 2026, be going to jail for DUIs,” Acho, 35, began.
“You got kids. You got a family name. You’re an incredibly impactful, significant and successful figure,” he continued. “And beyond all of that, this isn’t your first incident.”
Acho went on to tell the 50-year-old sports icon that he is putting himself at risk, as well as his family and “everybody else,” by “driving under the influence.”
“How many times are we going to see this happen?” the former Philadelphia Eagles player concluded. “And I’m tired of making exceptions for famous celebrities.”
A rep for Woods did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The five-time Masters champion was arrested for a suspected DUI last Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, after he was involved in a scary rollover car crash.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said during a press conference that Woods “showed signs of impairment” and “refused a urinalysis test” following the crash.
Budensiek also clarified that officers “weren’t suspicious of alcohol in this case” because the embattled golfer “blew triple zeros” in his Breathalyzer test.
Woods, meanwhile, was previously busted for a DUI in Jupiter, Florida, in May 2017 after officers found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz.
He ultimately pleaded guilty to reckless driving in a plea deal to avoid a DUI conviction and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $250 fine.
Acho isn’t the first star to tell Woods to get his act together following his latest DUI arrest.
Former PGA golfer Mark Lye acknowledged that there “has to be some accountability” for Woods, while PGA Tour announcer Doug Bell called the golf legend’s rollover crash and subsequent arrest “troublesome.”
Retired golf pro Brandel Chamblee, meanwhile, urged Woods to hang up his golf clubs, while Kevin Kisner – who was Woods’ teammate during a TGL event on March 24 – described the incident as “very disturbing” and “really unfortunate.”
As for Vanessa Trump, whom Woods has been dating, she reportedly gave the golf great a fierce ultimatum if he doesn’t turn things around.
“He drives her and her kids around sometimes,” an insider told the Daily Mail on Monday. “She just thinks about all the times that she doesn’t know whether he was good to drive.”
Vanessa, 48, shares Kai, 18, Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11, with her ex-husband, Donald Trump, Jr. Woods shares daughter Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 17, with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
“She’s a protective mom,” the source added of Vanessa. “She needs stability, and this is not stable. If he can’t fix this, she will 100 percent walk.”
