Tiger Woods' rollover crash in Jupiter, Florida, has been the center of conversation for more than two weeks. Now, Saturday Night Live has joined in the conversation.

The long-running sketch television show discussed the professional golfer during the cold open of the latest episode. This particular segment featured President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) making phone calls, one of which went to Woods (Kenan Thompson).
The pressing question from this conversation focused on the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, which ran from April 9-12. President Trump (Johnson) wanted to know if Woods would be back to compete for another green jacket.
"No, sir, I don't know if you remember, but I flipped my car and got a DUI," Thompson's character said. Johnson's version of Trump then responded and said, "Oh, right, a DUI. As in, 'Do he drive on pills? Yes he do.'"
The conversation continued with the character of Trump telling the character of Woods that he should have dropped his name to get out of trouble. Woods responded by saying that he had tried that. It didn't work.
Trump then asked if Woods wanted to go play golf, to which the professional golfer responded by saying that he was at a rehab facility in Switzerland. Once Trump learned that the facility didn't have a golf course, he hung up the phone.
This is not the first time that SNL has poked fun at Woods and incidents in his life. A previous example occurred in 2009 after a car crash, which led to the revelation about the golfer's extramarital affairs.
One skit featured Thompson playing Woods and Blake Lively playing his then-wife. In this skit, Woods held a press conference in which he admitted to the affairs. The screen then shifted to Wolf Blitzer (Jason Sudeikis), who revealed that Woods had sustained more injuries.

"Apparently just hours after a press conference where he confessed to multiple transgressions, Woods had an accident in his home where he fell down a flight of stairs then inadvertently threw himself through a plate glass window," Sudeikis said while portraying Blitzer.
The skit continued with Woods sustaining more "accidental" injuries. He ultimately wrote the words, "Help me" and "I'm scared" on papers that the audience could see.
