Yep. Saw his interview yesterday where they ask him about the Masters and he went on to say I have only one back and that's my number one priority.Just saw this:
Tiger Woods seriously injured in rollover car crash
Legendary golfer transported to a Los Angeles hospital, agent says he's undergoing surgery on legswww.marketwatch.com
Damn. Well, you know, Ben Hogan was terribly injured in a vehicle accident and recovered and subsequently was a dominant golfer on the PGA tour, winning many a tournament. But Tiger had his 5th back surgery recently. I guess odds are he'll remain tied with Sam Snead for most wins on the PGA tour all time at 82. Runners up are Jack Nicklaus at 73 and Hogan at 64.
Speed has to be part of the issue. The whole front of the car looks like is was chewed on by a transformer. Apparently was heading north, crossed over to the southbound, destroying the Rolling Hills Estates sign in the process, then rolled and went up the embankment.7am and he had to be flying. 1000 to 1 odds that drugs were involved.
I saw that interview Sunday during the broadcast of the final round of the Genesis, close to where the accident happened, i.e. Pacific Palisades' Riviera Country Club. He looked in decent spirits at the time, but with Tiger he's up front but the cards are close to his chest sometimes. It looked like a long shot that he'd compete in the Masters in April, at least effectively. He was awaiting word from the doctors. Now looks like his PGA tour playing days may be over.Yep.

Word is that at least one leg has a compound fracture. Looking at the scene I can't figure out if he just fell asleep or was avoiding something.
Not just speed. He wasn't just comfortably doing 55 in a 35. That kind of distance makes me think he was seeing what his car could do while he had the road to himself. I mean, I suppose it is possible he just caught a curb and got airborne and physics took over in a really unlucky way, but I think it's highly improbable.Speed has to be part of the issue.

Will they do a toxicology study on him? Test for drugs and alcohol? Since it was a single car accident I suppose it's not as certain than if others were involved.
Honestly you'd think after his last accident and his immense wealth, he'd just have a driver on staff. If I was worth what he was, zero chance I'd be driving. You're safer in the back seat and can use the time to do other stuff.
Tiger had another car accident some years ago, a pretty scandalous thing having to do (my vague memory) with a spat with his wife and solo running his car into a tree trunk in some kind of fury-funk or something.
I may be wrong about this, but it seems like his driving skills at the wheel does not match his driving skills at the tee.
If you read the article, you would know that he wasn't suspected to be under the influence of anything. He didn't even attempt to break, so I suspect he fell asleep.7am and he had to be flying. 1000 to 1 odds that drugs were involved.
It's true. One of the weaker parts of his game, especially in his later career.I don't know about that...Woods' success using his driver off the tee is frankly, while not horrid, not consistently anywhere near good....much like his driving his SUV's apparently.
I think I heard that he was on his way to a golf course (on TV), so falling asleep wouldn't seem to be it, but could be wrong. How else do you explain that? No skid marks, just flies off the road having gone through the divider?If you read the article, you would know that he wasn't suspected to be under the influence of anything.

Gives a shit.
Yeah, I lived 20 years of my full adulthood without having a motor vehicle, in an urban environment. I rode a bicycle a lot, when my bike was stolen, I spent a few years just walking my town when out and about. Some public transit, but not a lot. I've had a car for over 25 years now, but I appreciate the fact for me that I'm getting wherever I'm going fast enough. I think I see a lot more people nowadays driving like they're trying to beat the traffic, go faster, many times a lot faster than the flow of traffic. Many times, completely manic, it seems. To me, they seem "wigged out."The TMZ article linked in the OT thread about this says he left his hotel very fast after being held up by another vehicle as he tried to leave. It says he had an appointment in 1/2 hr at a location an hour away.
So, could be he was trying to make up time so as to be not so late to the next place.
Gotta agree, I save my wishes for bad things happening to anyone for DJT!That's horrible.
I hate to say it, but I care as much about his car accident as he would care about my sister being in a car accident. While I don't wish to see any human being hurt (except DJT) I really could give a shit also. I'm glad he didn't take anyone else out with him, that would be unfortunate.
Edit: forgot to add my thoughts and prayers!
I used to. But, maybe because I just gotten older and retired, but I find it a nice mellow relaxing thing to watch these days. Starting on Thursday, and following through to Sunday. That why I instantly knew that Tiger was in the L.A. area because of the Genesis Tournament.How do you hate golf?
