NextImg:British Open announcer stunningly speculates Tiger Woods is on ‘a lot of painkillers’

This golf announcer needed a censor button.

One British Open commentator made a startling accusation Thursday when he speculated that Tiger Woods is using “quite a lot of painkillers.”

“You look at the eyes, you gotta think that there’s quite a lot of painkillers being taken to cope with the pain, ya know,” one of Peacock’s featured groups announcer said. “Not easy.”

Regardless of whether Woods is using painkiller to manage his chronic pain, for an announcer to say such a thing is quite a stunning development.

Add in that it’s being based off how his eyes look and it’s even more shocking.

There’s also the seriousness of the topic when it comes to Woods and painkillers, with the golfer having painkillers in his system during his 2017 arrest, per NBC.

Woods also entered a rehab facility that year for an addition to prescription pills.

Woods is off to a poor start, shooting seven over par through his first 12 holes.

Woods is not alone in his struggles with what has already been a wild day at Royal Troon is Scotland, with top golfers Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau struggling after their U.S. Open duel.
