Tiger Woods’ 2017 DUI arrest footage is mistakenly used in ad campaign supporting capital punishment

Tiger Woods was accidentally featured in a campaign ad advocating the use of the death penalty for “police killers” and “mass murderers.”

Republican Kris Kobach, the party’s nominee for Attorney General of Kansas, released the campaign ad Thursday, but accidentally included a clip of the legendary golfer’s 2017 DUI arrest in the footage.

In the ad, titled “Just Intentional,” Kobach criticized his Democrat opponent Chris Mann for his opposition to the death penalty.

The clip of the 15-time Major winner was combined with footage of the Carr brothers, two convicted murderers currently on Kansas death row.

As the ad captured an image of Woods, the narrator said, “But if Chris Mann gets his way, there will be no death penalty for police killers.”

The error was quickly spotted and corrected within minutes, according to a Kobach spokesperson, Danedri Herbert, who blamed the advertising agency for hiring the campaign.

“That was a mistake by the advertising agency. We caught it and fixed it in minutes,” she said Fox news.

“What a lucky coincidence that the media picked up on this and exposed Chris Mann as a soft-on-crime Liberal Democrat who lets cops and mass murderers go easy on their heinous crimes.”

The new ad replaced the Woods section with images of what appears to be a prison inmate.

According to Fox News, the images of Woods in the ad were originally from a documentary about the Carr brothers. However, it is not clear why footage of Woods’ arrest was included in the documentary.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Woods for comment.

While Woods was initially arrested and ticketed for drunk driving in 2017, he eventually pleaded guilty to one count of reckless driving and was given probation.

Woods said an “unexpected reaction” to prescription drugs — not alcohol — was the reason for his arrest. He said he understands the seriousness of the incident and takes full responsibility.

“I want the public to know there was no alcohol involved,” he said in 2017. “What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescription drugs. I didn’t know the drug mix had affected me so much.’

In 2021, Woods was also involved in a single-vehicle accident that required hospitalization for weeks and surgery for open fractures to his right lower leg and further injuries to his foot and ankle.

He had driven twice the speed limit on a California highway before losing control and crashing his vehicle.

The golfing legend made a sensational return to the course at the Masters in April.

In a statement via cjonlineMann’s spokesperson, Kelli Kee, called the ad “absolutely false and deceptive.”

“He needs to remove the ad,” Kee said. Chris Mann is a former cop who was injured on the job. Kris Kobach is not ashamed of the lies he tells to gain political power.’

Kobach launched a similar attack on Mann during a debate on Tuesday. He said: “In Kansas, the Attorney General plays a vital role in ensuring that our men and women in blue are protected from people who would kill them.

“And one of the ways to do that is to deter it with the death penalty.”

But Mann, a former police officer and prosecutor with the Lawrence Police Department who now runs a private practice, insisted that while he personally opposes the death penalty, his job is to enforce the law.

“I never said I wouldn’t use the death penalty,” Mann said.
