Tiger Woods on Tuesday addressed the death of the employee whose Florida family is suing the PGA legend after their son was killed in a December drunk-driving accident.

Woods and girlfriend Erica Herman — cited as the general manager of Woods’ restaurant in Jupiter, Fla. — have been hit with a wrongful death lawsuit filed Monday by the parents of Nicholas Immesberger, a 24-year-old bartender at The Woods Jupiter. The family claims that Immesberger was overserved at the golfer’s establishment before his car overturned and killed him, and their lawyer alleges video of the victim drinking that day was “destroyed” by the establishment.

“We’re all very sad that Nick passed away,” Woods told reporters Tuesday at Long Island’s Bethpage Black course ahead of this week’s PGA Championship. “It was a terrible night, a terrible ending. And we feel bad for him and his entire family. It’s very sad.”

Woods is appearing in his first tournament since winning The Masters on April 14 for his 15th career major title. The lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County alleges Immesberger, who attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, drank heavily at Woods’ restaurant for nearly three hours after his bartending shift ended at 3 p.m. Dec. 10, 2018.

Immesberger was said to be traveling “at a high rate of speed” on Federal Highway when he lost control of his 1999 Corvette and swerved across three lanes before going airborne and overturning in Port Salerno, the Florida Highway Patrol said, according to the Palm Beach Post. He had an estimated blood alcohol level of 0.256, over three times Florida’s legal limit.

“Tiger knew, or reasonably should have known, that Immesberger was habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcoholic beverages, and/or was a habitual drunkard,” the lawsuit claims.

Immesberger also had been involved in another alcohol-related crash in November, the suit adds.

A lawyer representing Immesberger’s parents charged in a press conference Tuesday that video of their son drinking at the restaurant on the day he died was “destroyed by the Woods … as a direct result of [Immesberger’s] death and knowledge that he was there that night and they wanted to get rid of that evidence.”

Attorney Craig Goldenfarb listed Herman as the general manager of the bar and noted she “set the tone for the culture in that bar. And that culture was drinking and drinking to excess.”

Goldenfarb acknowledged that neither Herman nor Woods was present the day of Immesberger’s death, but he claims they are liable under state law because they own and manage the bar. He also cited a state law that holds the establishment responsible if it “knowingly serves a person habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcoholic beverage.”

“I feel that they failed me. [Nicholas] referred to The Woods as his family and his friends. And when he needed them, they looked the other way,” said Immesberger’s mother, Mary Belowsky.

Woods, 43, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, by President Trump in a White House ceremony earlier this month.
