James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump opened Saturday’s “SNL” with a series of increasingly ridiculous “urgent” phone calls to Tiger Woods (Kenan Thompson), Melania Trump (Chloe Fineman) and Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost).

First up was Woods, who Trump rang up from the Oval Office to say: “Tiger! It’s Donald! What’s going on, are you playing in the Masters this weekend?

Woods responded: “No, sir. I don’t know if you remember but I flipped my car and got a DUI.”
