LIV golf star Pat Perez’s wife slams Tiger Woods over car crash and says ‘thank god he didn’t kill anyone’
LIV golf star Pat Perez’s wife Ashley has taken a vicious swipe at Tiger Woods on social media.
The American superstar, 46, was involved in a serious car accident in February last year.
Woods made a miraculous return to action back in April, entering his 24th Masters at Augusta.
He has recently been taking part in the Hero World Challenge – and opened up about his injuries during a press conference at the event.
The 15-time major winner said: “I can hit golf balls. It’s just the walking that hurts.
“The goal is to play just the major championships and maybe one or two more – that’s it.
“I mean that’s physically all I can do. And I told you that, guys, you know, at the beginning of this year too. I mean I don’t have much left in this leg. So gear up for the biggest ones.
“And hopefully you know, lightning catches in a bottle and I’m up there in contention with a chance to win and hopefully I remember how to do that.”
When a clip of Woods‘ press conference was posted by Golfballing, Ashley Perez wrote in a now-deleted comment: “Literally why driving under the influence is ILLEGAL.
“I don’t feel bad for him. Thank god he didn’t kill anyone. See ya.”
Woods crashed his car into a tree at 87mph – nearly double the limit – suffering a fractured tibia and fibula and shattering his ankle.
Cops determined Woods to be driving at an “unsafe speed for road conditions”.
But Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva ruled out impairment, categorically stating at the time: “He was not drunk. We can throw that one out.”
Pat Perez once hit out at Woods in 2017, long before his LA crash.
He said of him: “He’s got this new corporation he started so he has to keep his name relevant to keep the corporation going.”
Perez also hit out at the golf legend last month, after Woods questioned why stars would join the LIV tour.
Speaking on the Son of a Butch podcast, Perez said: “That’s the stupidest s*** I have ever heard of in my life.
“That’s one of the stupidest things I think he has said. The incentive is the fact that last place is 120,000, first place is four million. You cannot win four million on the PGA Tour.”
