Tiger Woods has resurfaced on social media with an emotional Memorial Day message nearly two months after his DUI arrest and rehab treatment announcement.

The golf legend posted a patriotic tribute Monday honoring fallen service members while also paying special respect to his late father, Earl Woods, who served in the U.S. Army Special Forces and completed two tours in Vietnam.

"My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service," Tiger wrote. "To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth."

Tiger's girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, later reposted the message on social media in a public show of support.

It marks Tiger's first public statement since March 31 when he announced he'd be "stepping away for a period of time" to seek treatment following his March DUI arrest in Florida.

The golf champion was charged with two misdemeanors ... DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Tiger reportedly blew a 0.00% BAC on breathalyzer tests after the incident.

Shortly after the arrest, Woods was granted permission to travel overseas for inpatient treatment and has reportedly been staying in Switzerland during the rehab process.

Kyle Busch's family leaned on each other Sunday as thousands of NASCAR fans honored the racing legend during an emotional tribute at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Kyle's parents, Tom and Gaye Busch, along with his brother, NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch, also gathered on the speedway as NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell delivered an emotional speech about the two time Cup Series champion.

"Kyle Busch is NASCAR," O'Donnell told the crowd. "He was one of a kind, and there will never be another."

The tribute drew cheers and tears from fans packed inside the stadium as O'Donnell assured Samantha and the children that the NASCAR community would always stand beside them.

Before being taken to the hospital, Kyle was in a North Carolina racing simulator last Wednesday when he became unresponsive. TMZ Sports obtained audio from the 911 call ... where someone told dispatch the patient was "coughing up some blood" while looking like they were going to pass out.

Arthur Gea had more than his opponent to worry about at the French Open over the weekend ... because the dude suffered a full-blown bathroom emergency in the middle of his match and had to sprint off the court ASAP.

"I need to go to the bathroom. I can't move anymore," Gea said before rushing off court. At one point, he even warned ... "I'm going to (go) on the court."

Aaron Rodgers proved he's still got it in 2025, but one former Steeler is expecting the superstar quarterback to be even better in his final NFL season ... thanks to his new (and former) head coach.

Rodgers is running it back with Mike McCarthy in 2026 ... a guy he won a Super Bowl with 15 years ago when they were both on the Green Bay Packers.

Kyle Busch received a tribute in the middle of the Indy 500 Sunday ... with the crowd falling silent out of respect for him during lap 18 -- a nod to his former number.

TMZ Sports chopped it up with Boogie at LAX on Thursday ... but the former NBA All-Star started with a disclaimer.

"First, I'm going to say it's probably easier said than done. He's one of one. This is something new to the game in general," Cousins said of "the Alien," and the unique challenges he presents to opposing teams.

"I think your best chance is trying to make the game physical for him, make it really uncomfortable. And, you know, that's limited in today's game. But, you know, as far as whatever's allowed, you try to be as physical as possible."

Abdul Carter -- a New York Giants linebacker -- reposted a clip of Dart introducing the President Friday ... voicing his displeasure that his quarterback would stump for the prez.

Carter -- who was taken by the Giants in the same round as Dart -- wrote, "thought this s*** was AI, what we doing man."
