Marcello Hernandez took a swing at Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest during his ESPYs hosting gig.
“I want to congratulate Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Chicago Bears, who will be on the cover of the new ‘Madden’ video game,” Hernández began Wednesday night. “Congratulations to Caleb — and Tiger Woods will be on the cover of ‘Grand Theft Auto.’”
The “Saturday Night Live” star was referring to the legendary golfer’s rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, back in March.
The shocking scene saw the athlete, 50, crawling out of his Land Rover following the incident.
Woods was arrested on March 27 and charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after he was involved in a car crash around 2 p.m. ET local time.
He later pleaded not guilty, announcing he was going to “seek treatment” and step away from golf.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” the professional golfer shared via X at the time.
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
He continued, “I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
On June 12, the five-time Masters winner checked out of a rehabilitation center in Switzerland.
Earlier that month, a source claimed Woods was planning on finishing his treatment toward the end of June.
“The original plan was for Tiger to do a three-month rehab program, which should stay on target unless something major changes,” a source told People two weeks ago.
The source said that Woods was “doing the best he can” amid the “pressure” for him to heal as well as the legal issues he will face in the coming months.
“This has created a great deal of stress,” the insider added.
He is scheduled to appear in court for a status hearing on August 4.
Woods, notably, has been involved in several car crashes over the years, including a near-fatal rollover crash in 2021 that left him with life-altering injuries to his right leg.
