Dana White was one of the few personalities to publicly defend Tiger Woods when the golfer became embroiled in a headline-grabbing controversy back in 2009. Despite not being a golf fan, White admired Woods' accomplishments in his chosen sport.

Following UFC 107 in Memphis in December 2009, the UFC president donned a cap in support of Woods for his backstage interview with Ariel Helwani. White stated that he had heard enough about the golfer's extramarital exploits:

"I'm not even a golf fan at all, but I've been a Tiger [Woods] fan... He's won so many and still has the passion for it... Guy made a mistake... Leave him alone. What he is doing at home and elswhere is nobody's business. You want to talk about when he's playing golf next, what kind of training regimen he's doing, this and that - it's all stuff to talk about. This stuff that's going around with him right now is bullsh*t."
