Saturday Night Live fans weren't surprised to see the latest episode open with the U.S. president once again.
This time, the parodied version of Donald Trump — portrayed by James Austin Johnson — addresses politics in the SNL cold open, of course, given the real-life situation happening overseas. But the head of state then proceeds to grab the phone and dial up an old pal of his, which also might not have been a shock: Tiger Woods.
"Tiger! It’s Donald! What’s going on?" Austin's Trump says to Woods, portrayed by Kenan Thompson. "Are you playing in the Masters this weekend?"
"No, sir. I don’t know if you remember but I flipped my car and got a DUI," Woods says, to which Trump hilariously replies, "Oh right, a 'dewy.' As in, 'Do he drive on pills?' Yes he do."

And as Thompson's Woods explains that he can't play golf because he's at a rehab facility in Switzerland, Trump is already hanging up the phone to call Melania Trump, played by Chloe Fineman — who pokes fun at the first lady's unexpected speech recently where she announced she wasn't associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
“Listen, I decided I should do a big, random speech, completely out of nowhere, and say I am not Epstein victim," Fineman's Melenia tells Donald in the bit. "Is that good?"

In other Woods news, his girlfriendVanessa Trump seems to be supporting the golf icon of late. On April 3, the 48-year-old took to her Instagram Stories with a sweet photo of the two of them, complete with the caption, “Love you.” The photo, which showed the two cuddling on a hammock, was one of the same images that Woods used to make the couple Instagram official in March of last year.
