Who is Notah Begay III?

Question

The guy was sat in the audience during Tiger's press statement, but who exactly is he?

Answer 1

He's an American-Indian golfer, a friend of Woods, and perhaps tellingly, he's had endured small degree of notoriety after being called driving under the influence of alcohol. That past experience may have led Woods to confide in the player, or maybe Begay is just an all-round good friend to Woods.
