Tiger Woods' pals say the golf legend has "zero plans" to change his ways following last Friday's DUI arrest, according to new claims.
Despite the 15-time major winner’s public apology for this latest crash behind and the wheel, and an ultimatum from girlfriend Vanessa Trump, there’s a belief from within his inner circle Woods won’t dramatically alter his ways for the better, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Tiger Woods Is 'Embarrassed' But Might Not Change
Woods is set in his ways and won't change his lifestyle, say insiders.
"Tiger is embarrassed with his recent arrest and he has promised to get to a place to where friends and family look at him in a positive way," a source claimed. "But here's the thing: He enjoys what he has built for himself. He enjoys his money and what it brings to his life — he has no problem that money won't fix. Let's be honest, that will never end."
"He will always live in that world," added the source. "He will get another chance to be a part of the PGA and be a part of whatever he wants to do."
Vanessa Trump's Fury Over Arrest
Vanessa allegedly issued Woods an ultimatum following the incident.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the insider added: "This incident will be not forgotten, but it will be something that will go by the wayside. Then, he can then continue his life the way he wants. He's living his life, not what people want his life to be and that's that."
Vanessa was said to have been furious and disappointed at her boyfriend's arrest. But while Woods, 50, wants to put this latest incident behind him, friends fear that he'll never stop living life on his terms.
"If people want to be a part (of his life), awesome. If not, things will be fine," the source said. "That's for relationships and everything else. He's in his 50s, he'd like to be left alone and deal with life the way he wants."
'Seeking Treatment' and 'Focusing On Health'
Woods broke his silence after arrest by posting message on his Instagram Stories.
Woods announced his plans to "focus" on his health after his recent arrest.
On Tuesday, March 31, Woods said he understood the "seriousness of the situation" and would be "stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment" via Instagram.
"This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery," he said at the time.

"I'm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally," he continued. "I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time."
The professional golfer did not specify what he would be seeking treatment for at this time.
On Friday, March 27, Woods, 50, was involved in a two-car rollover accident in Florida after reportedly attempting to pass a truck hauling a trailer on a narrow road. His SUV flipped onto its side in the wreck and Woods was forced to crawl out through one of the vehicle's windows.
