Meanwhile, others came to the golfer's defense amid the speculations.
"Well, of course, Tiger had a few drinks! SO WHAT?!!! He was at his leisure in Las Vegas, for gosh sakes, giving of his very sought-after time to raise $-MILLIONS for a great cause! Thank you, T!" commented one social media user.
"He is probably drinking on painkillers. Let the dude have some fun. He deserves it," opined another.
"He's in Vegas. Leave the guy alone. He probably had two cocktails and has a slight buzz here. Leave the guy alone," wrote a third X user.
"Dude's in Vegas, maybe give him a pass," stated someone else.
"He's probably drunk. What's wrong with that? He's living life, baby," said a different commenter.
"Can't the man have a couple of drinks and a good time without trolls attacking him or making s**t up?" commented another person.
Some fans' concerns may have stemmed from a 2017 incident where the golfer got arrested on a DUI charge.
Per the report at the time, Woods "had extremely slow and slurred speech" and also struggled with roadside tasks.
Shortly after the incident, Woods released a statement saying alcohol was not involved in his arrest and that he was under prescription medication.
"I understand the severity of what I did, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly," he said.
